It is unusual in that there usually is a reason for it

Of course.

But the 6th year does tend to be a week point for the party in power. Losing 30 seats is a serious defeat. Its not trivial or unimportant, its a major loss. But its also not very unusual under the circumstances.

"More like because of all his efforts."

You keep claiming that without anything to back it up. If that were the case, the rest of the world would have been recovering from the same economic collapse, but they weren't either.

I've posted a number of times backing it up.

The rest of the world also put in place quite a few negative policies.

One note of clarification - I don't mean "solely because of his efforts". Hoover had quite a few bad policies as well, and conditions where bad in ways that had nothing to do with either of their policies. I'm not saying "FDR created the depression". He just helped make it worse. And to be fair to him, that is just looking at the economics of it. Politically its possible that if he didn't institute some of his very poor policies that even worse policies would have been demanded and enacted. To the extent that is the case, it could be said that in a certain way FDR made things better than they would have other wise been.
