How did the bonus army March affect Americans views towards Herbert Hoover?

I think it hurt him in the 1936 election. As president, he had to clear the campers out eventually, but was blamed for doing it. He did not have the power to give out the bonuses they wanted and Congress refused to do it. Roosevelt milked the incident for all it was worth during the campaign. He even sent his wife to talk to the campers at their new camp outside of Washington.

The Bonus Army March had a negative impact on Americans' views towards Herbert Hoover. The sight of unemployed veterans protesting and being forcibly removed from Washington, D.C. by the military created the perception that Hoover was unsympathetic to the needs of the American people during the Great Depression. This further damaged Hoover's already declining popularity and contributed to his defeat in the 1932 presidential election.
