Adios, Bubba.

Arkancide the pollsters!

For I don’t know how many years JFK was always at the top. All those old JFK lovers must be dying off.

As much as I detest Bill Clinton, he had more on the ball than Obama. For one thing, he was a citizen and could prove it. Obama never could.

So yes, a likely rapist and all around criminal still beats out a foreign national drag queen.

[Oiao]

Obama...., Who?

People rate the worst president in the history of the Republic as the “best” president of their lifetime. Hmmmm....

[Lurkinanloomin]

The Kenyanesian Usurper was the worst thing to happen to this country.

Both parties colluded to violate the Constitution.

[Still Thinking]

This is actually true for a segment of the population. For anyone under 9 years of age, Ebola WAS the best president of their life until Jan 20 of last year.

Obama, the worst president in the history of the United States.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

They must have meant that Obama is the best at destroying race relations.

Chicago Resident: Obama Will Go Down as Worst President Ever

[pepsi_junkie]

Interesting. I have to assume a lot of this is indicative of a shift in demographics. If the presidents in your lifetime were George HW Bush, Bill Clinton, George W Bush, and Barack Obama you’d have a hard time picking a good one out of the bunch, much less a clearly “best” one. But if you remember Reagan the decision is clear.

[Jack Hammer]

obama may have been the ‘best’ president in their lifetimes, but he was without a doubt the worst president in the entire history of the nation.

[rjsimmon]

President Barack Obama was the “best” president of their lifetime

Based upon what criteria?

[Pollster1]

To make the “best president” list, one has to have been president. Obama is nowhere on that list, although the usurper ranks just above Buchanan on the list of Oval Office occupants.

We managed to avoid all-out civil war despite the communist’s attempts at destruction, and most of the destructive legacy is being dismantled. I pray that President Trump will leave office in six and a half years with nothing remaining of his predecessor beyond a dismal footnote in history books and a bitter lesson that will be remembered for a long time.

Talk about a false poll.

Since 1951 it has been unconstitutional for a President to serve more than two full terms in office. Taken to its logical ending this would exclude anyone from serving anywhere in the Presidential line of succession; i.e., the Vice President and people that could become Vice President through Presidential Appointment (President Ford).

I wonder who was dumber - the people who designed this fake poll or those who answered it.

[CommerceComet]

Junk poll. It is obviously affected by recency bias. Any adult today would be 18+ and thus lived through the entirety of the Obama and George W. Bush terms and at least some of Clinton's last term. Fewer adults would have lived through all the Clinton terms and the George H.W. Bush term, fewer yet the Reagan terms, fewer yet remember the nightmare of the Carter term, and so on. In fact, given the median age in the U.S. is 37.8 years, half the population was not alive when Carter was President. Because most people don't become politically aware until their teen-age years, this effect is increased.

My mom was born when Herbert Hoover was President as were about 5.5 million other people still alive. How many of them should be included in a poll of 2000 people? About 40. So only 40 could vote for Hoover while all 2,000 could vote for Obama (or Dubya). So the structure of the poll sets up for the most recent to excel.

[Buckeye McFrog]

That’s more an indictment of the Bush Family than anything.
