Hindenburg was actually unsuited for the presidential post, for he was a right-wing politician, and had little respect for a democratic government.
In the general election of September 1930, the Nazis won 6.5 million votes, took 107 seats in the Reichstag and became the second largest party in the country.
The unpopularity of the government was shown in the presidential election of April 1932.

The Democratic national platform, recently adopted at Denver, contains a declaration in favor of the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people, and expresses the opinion that this reform is the gateway to other national reform.
The excuse, however, given by those who oppose the popular election of senators, is that the Senate represents the states and that a popular election of senators would destroy the representative character of that body.
