New Poll On Presidents: Reagan Ranked The Best And Obama The Worst

http://weaselzippers.us/wp-content/uploads/2011-02-22-humor-reagan-obama.jpg


Via Washington Examiner:


Former President Ronald Reagan has edged out Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy as the nation’s greatest president in over a century, and President Obama was rated the biggest failure by a sizable margin over George W. Bush, Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter, according to a new poll.

The YouGov/Economist rankings just released found that more adults, 32 percent, put “the Gipper” in the “great” category. Of the 1,000 polled, FDR followed at 31 percent and JFK at 30 percent. Just 14 percent rated Obama as great.

Instead, 37 percent graded Obama a “failure,” more than Bush at 32 percent, Nixon at 30 percent and Jimmy Carter at 22 percent.

The survey looked at presidents since Theodore Roosevelt, the first of the 20th century. Those surveyed were asked to rate each president in six categories: great, near great, average, below average, failure, and don’t know.

I am surprised considering how the academia trashes Reagan and refuses to give him credit for anything.

Having Obama as the worst makes sense as he is, but Nixon was not a failure.

Everyone look at Watergate which was minor compared to IRS or Behngazi and not his accomplishments
 
President Obama was rated the biggest failure by a sizable margin over George W. Bush...

Regardless of what one may feel about Obama any survey that doesn't put George W. Bush on the very bottom can't be taken serious.

No president has ever transformed the US more dramatically than Bush, and it was all bad. At least Reagan ended the cold war.
 
Bill Clinton was better than Ronald Reagan

Also your source (to no great surprise) is a right wing. Sensationalist publication, of course Ronald 'corporation' Reagan was going to be number one.

Obama raises more $ from CORPORATIONS then anyone

Show me where source is as you describe
 
No he didn't, Gorby whats'is name gets most of the credit - Rest of the world were spectators.

He did more than people realize. Sure - Gorby had the tough end of the stick, but Ronald Reagan did all the right things to facilitate the process, with just the right amount of pressure and baiting. With the wrong president we could have ended up with total anarchy in the USSR or WW3

Bill Clinton did two very stupid things while in office:

1. Cheated with a girl who was less attractive than his wife (you always trade up).

2. Signed the DMCA.


So nope - he was not better than Reagan in my book.

Clearly you are ignorant of reality

Ignorant of what High Ranking Soviet Generals said AFTER the FALL....they ALL said it was RR



Ignorant of what Gorby himself said and wrote.....When he went to a summit in Vladavostok....Gorby was dressed in fur coat and had a Soviet style fur hat cause it was freezing......he was met by RR, who though MUCH older, looked STRONG AND VIBRANT and came out in a SUIT......GORBY SAID.....he KNEW THEN

THE SOVIET UNION WILL COLLAPSE

Look, if it isn't a Mother Jones/Time poll, it isn't valid in any way shape and form and if ANY Democrat is ranked below ANY Republican, DITTO!



;) ;) Super Mega Dittos...
 
Obama isn't even close:

Worst President in 20th Century: Woodrow Wilson
Worst President in 19th Century: Andrew Johnson

The 21st century isn't old enough to make a call - but it's looking bad for G.W so far.

Dude, they'd slam the poll even if it WAS Mother Jones/Time but published on the Heritage web site. You know how it works.

Regan was the best president? Ahahahahahah ah... Thank you for the morning laugh.

Obama and Carter are far worse than Bush

One is destroying the economy the other gave us the Iranian mullahs
 
Can't believe that you right wingers haven't named Buchanan (lifelong bachelor) as the worst president EVER yet. You're slacking.
 
Meanwhile, Calvin is silently one of the best presidents ever . . . and nobody knows but us.
