==Hoover's popularity takes a hit==

Many people lost their jobs during the Great Depression and were forced to move into "shantytowns" that became known as "Hoovervilles", a mocking tribute to the President whom they blamed for their financial woes. <ref>http://memory.loc.gov/learn/features/timeline/depwwii/depress/hoovers.html</ref> (This link contains pictures of several "Hoovervilles".) Hoover's popularity took a further hit when a group of veterans from [[World War I]] known as the [[Bonus Army]] marched on [[Washington, D.C.]] to demand their cash bonuses that they were to receive in 1945 for their military service. <ref>http://www.eyewitnesstohistory.com/bonusarmy.htm</ref> Hoover deployed the Army to drive out these marchers, of whom there were up to 10,000, which was a further public relations nightmare. Hoover lost the [[United States presidential election of 1932]] election by a landslide to [[Democrat]] [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]], winning only 59 electoral votes. <ref>http://www.statemaster.com/graph/pre_1932_ele_vot_for_her_hoo-1932-electoral-votes-herbert-hoover</ref>
