In 1932, the US was in the throes of what became known as the Great Depression- the economy was in terrible shape and people were hurting. The Republicans had been in power for 12 years and when Franklin Roosevelt came along with his message of hope and change and radical new programs, people decided to give him a chance. Roosevelt was a gifted speaker with a captivating personality compared to the solemn , sedate Hoover and that no doubt helped him win votes.
