Maybe. Bottom line is that historians look him upon favorably and one of the reasons is New Deal policies. My ultimate point is that his positives far outweighed his negatives and for this president to overcome his negatives it’s going to be tough.
To your point on the New Deal, we also got Social Security out of it. Historically SS has been a resounding success and that’s not debatable. Now I understand that in recent history SS has fallen out of favor but that should be blamed on corrupt politicians that came after FDR. In order to curry favor among the electorate SS was slowly turned into something it wasn’t suppose to be, a hand-out that rewards sloth instead of a safety-net for hard-working folks.
