Presidential Responses To Domestic Economic Conflicts: Impact Upon Popularity
Number of pages:
16
ABSTRACT:
16 pages in length. The primary objective of any presidency is not to make critical decisions based upon popular opinion, but rather to enact policy based upon the betterment of the nation as a whole, a task that is inherently marred with unpopular public opinion no matter how beneficial it may be. However, there is a fine line between disagreeing with a president's policy and opposing it to such a degree that it changes the foundation upon which that president is popular with his constituency. Two American presidents who experienced this ever-seesawing approval rating did so because of their respective approaches to domestic economic conflict; Hoover suffered the wrath of an angry public, while FDR basked in the glory of an adoring nation. Bibliography lists 15 sources.
