Gotta agree the question sets up a slam dunk no brainer answer. I can say a lot about the trauma of the past half century in the USA but I would never dream of comparing anything--not the Cold War, not Vietnam, not Watergate, not even the worst of the post WWII economic depressions, and not 9/11 nor the War on Terror--to the depth and breadth of national trauma that was the Great Depression. Not even WWII came close I think to the sheer existential terror and potential for ripping apart the nation at the seams that the Depression embodied.
It is not a logical certainty that the President whose term was ripped up by this time bomb would automatically emerge as the most hated loser of his generation and wreck the fortunes of his political party for decades to come; by good fortune the nation might have elected some leadership, including a President, flexible and broad enough of mind to respond to the emergency in a helpful and inspiring way that earns the gratitude of the nation, especially given the Constitutionally mandated fixed election schedule that bought whoever took office in 1929 several years to find their footing and bearings. Nor does Hoover's shattered reputation follow from vast personal deficiencies; it is rather sad that some other Republican was not shattered, since the man had his virtues. Unfortunately far sight and flexibility and a comprehensive, inclusive national vision were not among them! A worse man might have done darker things, maybe set up a coup attempting to put democracy on hold. I cannot name a better man that OTL history had placed anywhere near plausible election in 1928--certainly not Al Smith, Hoover's first Democratic opponent!
Anyway, no President since Hoover has ever had to deal with a whammy on the scale of the Depression. God forbid any ever do, though an honest Future History attempt would have me attempting to prognosticate a few.
