In 1932, President Hebert Hoover loses the Republican nomination to former President Calvin Coolidge, who decides to run again. He faces FDR on Nov. 8, 1932. Does the former president, who was very popular during his White House years, show better than Hoover? Is there a chance, that Cooldige wins, or is FDR simply unbeatable in the great depression?

It's still a landslide for FDR, maybe somewhat smaller - Republicans were in serious sh**t in 1932.

Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt (D-NY)/ Speaker Rep. John Nance Garner (D-TX) 413  56.3% 
Fmr. Pres. Calvin Coolidge (R-MA)/ Amb.,Gen. Hanford MacNider (R-IA) 118    40.9%
Activist Norman Thomas (S-NY)/ Union Leader James H. Maurer (S-PA)  2.1%
others .7%

A "Bring Back Coolidge" movement gains strength, and Hoover is persuaded to not seek reelection.  The Convention selects Coolidge for President, and Ambassador and popular General Hanford MacNider for Vice President.  Coolidge gives his support to Prohibition repeal, and reminds voters of the good economic times of the mid-1920s. However that only gets him so far, as many voters place a great deal of the blame for the Depression on his shoulders.
