The New Deal coalition was the alignment of interest groups an voting blocs that supported the New Deal and voted for Democratic presidential candidates from 1932 until approximately 1968, which made the Democratic Party the majority party during that period, although they had only one Presidential majority after 1944. Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his campaign manager Postmaster General James A. Farley created a coalition that included the Democratic party, big city machines, labor unions, minorities (racial, ethnic and religious,) liberal farm groups, intellectuals, and the South. The coalition fell apart after 1968, but it remains the model that party activists seek to replicate.Political scientists often call it the “Fifth Party System” in contrast to the Fourth Party System of the 1896-1932 era that it replaced.
