Same reason Stalin is still popular in Russia. No need for any kind of ideological connection, if you lead your country through WW2 and won, you are going to be popular.
unless you're FDR cuz the economic and political changes he made in order to win the war, including running 4 times and providing a safety net for the vulnerable, were MOST UNCIVIL :pinocchio-evil:
In fairness, he does get viewed with a lot of reverence and the only reason he's lost a hit of stature is a long term active propaganda war against him and the new deal.
effectively destroyed the left in the U.S. but weirdly if he lived longer might have saved it in the soviet union (assuming he was able to solidify his plans of economic and political cooperation with the USSR).

FDR was instrumental in destroying the left by sapping it's energy through welfare programs.
