FDR won the election because he brought an actual plan to the table that people could actually find tangeable, where Hoover's plan to pull the country out of the Depression had long term goals; FDR wanted to fix things now. It's not that Hoover was a bad President, he just came about in the absolute wrong time in American History. If FDR would have been elected four years earlier, we would be talking about him as we do Hoover!

The country was in the great depression in 1932. Republicans had won the last three presidential elections and people decided to risk making a change. Roosevelt advocated more federal government intervention into private business and more federal programs to add jobs. The Democrats also played up the Bonus Army affair to make Hoover look bad.

People felt that Hoover caused the Great Depression to worsen since he only started creating programs late after the Depression started. As a result, people wanted FDR because they thought they he could possibly cause a change, which he ended up doing with his New Deal laws.
