He was personally popular, and the economy seemed near recovery. He took 60 percent of the vote and carried all but two states. A broad new coalition aligned with the Democratic Party emerged, consisting of labor, most farmers, most urban ethnic groups, African Americans, and the traditionally Democratic South. The Republican Party received the support of business as well as middle-class members of small towns and suburbs. This political alliance, with some variation and shifting, remained intact for several decades.  \n1. Who ran against Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1936 presidential election?  \n_______________________________________________  \n_______________________________________________  \n2. Following Roosevelt’s victory, the Democratic Party found itself unable to form strong ties with groups such as farmers and laborers.  \na. True  \nb. False  \nRoosevelt's second term was a time of consolidation.

The New Deal established the foundations ofthe modern welfare state in the United States. Roosevelt, perhaps the most imposing of the 20th-century presidents, had established a new standard of mass leadership.  \n4. What established the foundations of the modern welfare state in the United States?  \n_______________________________________________  \n_______________________________________________  \nNo American leader, then or since, used the radio so effectively.
