The definition of what is a "liberal" or a "conservative" varies through time, and it is not set even in modern times.
In terms of the politics of his time, FDR could be described as a "liberal", since he supported some things - like setting up the National Works Administration, creating labor laws that recognised unions, and setting up Social Security - that conservatives opposed. But that does not mean he would qualify as a liberal in modern times. He opposed the abolition of segregation, for example, which in modern times is supported by liberals.
In addition to being opposed by many conservatives, FDR was also opposed by many people on the left wing who felt that he was not doing enough to help the poor. The socialist and communist movements were very active during the great depression and they opposed many of Roosevelt's decisions.
FDR was liberal....Probably the first true "left-wing" presidents. This is true because of the New Deal which provided government intervention in the economy.....Not to go off on a political rant, but in truth, the New Deal worsened the depression.
He was a progressive.
President Franklin D Roosevelt was one of the most liberal presidents in US history. Herbert C Hoover was a moderate conservative president.
Franklin Roosevelt was a very liberal Democrat- more so than any before him. Therefore, he was naturally opposed by Republicans and conservative Democrats. You see the same thing today.
