<P> The New Deal coalition was the alignment of interest groups and voting blocs in the United States that supported the New Deal and voted for Democratic presidential candidates from 1932 until the late 1960s . It made the Democratic Party the majority party during that period , losing only to Dwight D. Eisenhower , a pro-New Deal Republican , in 1952 and 1956 . Franklin D. Roosevelt forged a coalition that included the Democratic state party organizations , city machines , labor unions , blue collar workers , minorities ( racial , ethnic , sexual and religious ) , farmers , white Southerners , people on relief , and intellectuals . The coalition began to fall apart with the bitter factionalism during the 1968 election , but it remains the model that party activists seek to replicate . </P>
