Yes, he is. Conrad Black has in fact written a very-much pro-FDR biography titled FDR: Champion of Freedom.

For some time now, I’ve thought that conservatives should like FDR much more than they usually do. A case can be made that FDR did a nearly minimal amount of market meddling, given the Great Depression and the possibility of extremist solutions in the US from both the left and the right if vigorous actions weren’t taken to try and make the existing system work better.

A second term for Hoover doesn’t really bear thinking about as an alternate history scenario.
