A minority of economists feel that FDR's programs extended the depression, a majority of economists feel that his programs stopped the slide and started the U.S economy back in the right direction. (Robert J Samuelson, The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics)

Most of the criticism of FDR's policies come from the far left and the far right, so by my admittedly simple analysis that means it was probably about right.
