Best Answer

President Hoovers popularity was falling as voters felt he was unable to reverse the economic collapse or deal with prohibition. Franklin D. Roosevelt used Hoover's failure to deal with the problems as a platform for his own election, promising reform in his policy the New Deal, which resulted as Roosevelt winning by a landslide.

The country's economic problems had grown worse and people thought Hoover wasn't doing enough.
