Nope sure maybe yes

Franklin D. Roosevelt did not help the US get out of the depression, actually his policies made the depression last longer. In two full terms as president, the depression was still on and his own secretary of the Treasury, Henry Morgenthau, Jr., said "I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started. … And an enormous debt to boot." The Great Depression continued until the US entered World War II and converted to a wartime economy. Roosevelt died before the war ended, and was replaced by Harry Truman. By this time, the congress and the American people had enough of high taxes and government intervention into business, so many of Roosevelt's policies were reversed and the economy made a huge recovery.
He certainly could have, since he was old enough to vote when Roosevelt was running. As to whether he did...he was a Democrat then, so it's possible.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the 32nd president of the United States. There are quite a few noteworthy elements that make him famous, although being the president of the U.S. is usually enough for many presidents. * He pulled the U.S. out of the Great Depression. * Was involved in the creation of Social Security. * He led the U.S. through World War II. * Was president for over three terms (he died within a few months of starting his fourth). * He was a distant cousin of Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th president. * He was paralyzed from the chest down.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt
Hoover was alive during the great depression. He was rich enough that it did not personally affect his way of life.
He was 22 years old when he formally graduated from Harvard in 1904. He had enough credits to graduate a year earlier but stayed an extra year to work on the school paper and take some graduate courses
Many people blamed the crash of Wall Street (Black Thursday) on the Republicans who had politically dominated the "roaring twenties". Herbert Hoover was not re-elected in 1932 as it was thought he did not do enough to provide relief from the economic depression that followed the collapseof the New York Stock Exchange.A Democrat, Franklin Delano Roosevelt won the election and began government programs to attempt to end the depression. This soon became a world depression. Roosevelt was the first US President that did not follow the precedent set by George Washington by only running for president 2 times. Roosevelt won 4 straight presidential elections. ( later the Congress limited the election of any president to 2 terms by law.President Roosevelt's economic programs gave hope to the 25 % of US workers who had no jobs. He became the "peoples friend" with hisweekly radio broadcasts which were a comfort to the USA. Economists today don't give Roosevelt much credit for ending the great depression. The consensus is that the USA's entry into WW2 brought the depression to an end.
Why not? Franklin Roosevelt did, and he married her. He seems to have turned out ok. Eleanor was a cousin, far enough removed so that there was no obstacle.
The country's economic problems had grown worse and people thought Hoover wasn't doing enough.
