Why was franklin d roosevelt elected 4 times?
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected four times because people were very dissatisfied with Republicans because they did little to nothing during the previous administration (Hoover) to mollify the hardships of the depression and Roosevelt implemented many government spending programs like the Works Progress Administration that provided jobs in local areas in public infrastructure. Whether this actually helped the economy or not is still being debated. Additionally, we were engaged in World War II and many people felt that changing Presidents during this perilous period would be bad for the country. And, finally, FDR was very popular with not only the average voter but with children as well. During a newspaper strike, Roosevelt read the Sunday funny papers over the radio so kids wouldn’t have to miss them.
