<P> The 1932 presidential election and the 1934 Senate and House of Representatives elections brought about long - term shifts in voting behavior , and became an enduring realignment . Roosevelt set up his New Deal in 1933 and forged a coalition of labor unions , liberals , religious , ethnic and racial minorities ( Catholics , Jews and Blacks ) , Southern whites , poor people and those on relief . The organizational heft was provided by big - city machines , which gained access to millions of relief jobs and billions of dollars in spending projects . These voting blocs together formed a majority of voters and handed the Democratic Party seven victories out of nine presidential elections ( 1932 -- 1948 , 1960 , 1964 ) , as well as control of both houses of Congress during all but four years between the years 1932 -- 1980 ( Republicans won small majorities in 1946 and 1952 ) . Starting in the 1930s , the term `` liberal '' was used in US politics to indicate supporters of the coalition , `` conservative '' its opponents . The coalition was never formally organized , and the constituent members often disagreed . The coalition usually was often divided on foreign policy and racial issues but was more united to support liberal proposals in other domestic policy . </P>
