Question
which issue that arose under hoover helped roosevelt into the white house in 1932?
○ a high unemployment rate
○ high unemployment benefits
○ a low corporate tax rate
○ low tariffs on imports
During Herbert Hoover's presidency, the U.S. faced the Great Depression, which led to a massive surge in unemployment. Voters blamed Hoover's policies for failing to address the economic crisis, including the sky-high unemployment rate. This widespread economic hardship made Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal proposals appealing, helping him win the 1932 election. The other options are incorrect: unemployment benefits were not high under Hoover, low corporate taxes and low tariffs were not key issues that drove voters to support Roosevelt.
