So how did FDR raise his poll numbers back up?

He declared war. I’m just wondering who that would be against, given the sacrosanct status of all Muslim states. The UK perhaps? How about Israel?
Interestingly enough, FDR's approval rating never slipped below 46%, ever. His high-water mark was something over 85%, and that came (I believe) during the first full year of WWII.
However, that did not keep the GOP from picking up sizable numbers of House seats in FDR's mid-term years. Of course, bot times, the Democrats regained those seats (with interest) in Presidential election years.
