Yes, the National Recovery Administration (NRA) had become unpopular by 1935. The NRA was created as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal program to stimulate economic recovery during the Great Depression. The NRA aimed to improve the economy by setting codes of fair competition for businesses and by establishing minimum wages and maximum work hours for employees.
However, the NRA faced several criticisms, including the perception that it favored large corporations over small businesses and workers. Some businesses also found it difficult to comply with the regulations, and there were complaints that the codes did not always lead to higher wages or improved working conditions.
Furthermore, in 1935, the Supreme Court ruled that the NRA's blanket codes were unconstitutional, as they gave too much power to the executive branch and interfered with the right of states to regulate commerce. As a result, the NRA was dissolved in 1935, and its regulations were replaced by other New Deal programs such as the National Labor Relations Act and the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Overall, while the NRA was initially popular and seen as a way to address the economic crisis of the Great Depression, it ultimately faced criticisms and was dissolved due to legal challenges and shifting political priorities.
