NEW ALAMO POLL: Who was the greatest U.S. President?

In the lead-up to Independence Day, I thought it would be interesting to get your opinion on who was the greatest U.S. president. I have my own view, which I’ll share in a July 4 posting. Historians have their take, as well, consistently ranking FDR and Lincoln at the top of the list. I'll be using the results in my AP Government class, so please participate!

You can also reach the poll through direct link at: Who was the greatest President of the United States?

Thanks!

Jefferson

The first and still the best...Washington.

Lincoln is nowhere near being one of the best presidents and people only think of him as such due to propaganda that paints him as some kind of hero when he was really the biggest destructor of liberty ever.

Washington. FDR are you joking.

[pepsionice]

[Vaquero]

I voted for the gipper.....

for no other reason than to skew it for a modern conservative.

It wasn’t Washington and it wasn’t FDR either.

I would say the greatest was Jefferson and although they were not the greatest Wilson and Andrew Johnson certainly deserve a mention. Wilson because he finally forced Yankees to bury the bloody shirt and reconcile with us and Johnson because he risked everything defending us against the Yankees who tried all sorts of schemes on us during Reconstruction.

[madison10]

It said President of the U.S., not President of the Confederacy. ;)

[Daisyjane69]

ditto

[Brilliant]

Since George W. Bush got 2% of the votes I’m going to discount this poll.

[glorgau]

How can it be any other than Washington?

[tumblindice]

How `bout a Polk?

Washington by a very wide margin.
