Answer:
The public response to the banking reforms was largely negative, as many people felt that the reforms did not go far enough in protecting citizens' financial security. On the other hand, the public response to the work programs was overwhelmingly positive as they provided relief to those who were unemployed and offered them a path to economic stability. The New Deal programs were also popular because they provided tangible and immediate benefits to the public, while the banking reforms only provided long-term benefits in the form of increased security.
