Keep in mind, FDR presided over a miserable economy for a decade and people never lost faith in him.

Remember also that the Republicans took Congress in 1938 and the war probably kept Roosevelt from being defeated in 1940. Willkie ended within 600,000 votes of FDR in 1940 although the electoral college made it look less close. There was no body of knowledge then about what he was ding wrong. Now we know how bad Obama’s policies are.
