Sorry - NO ONE is worse than Jimmy Carter.

At least not yet.

You beat me to it — I was going to say that any poll that doesn’t rank carter dead last is off base. Also — Lincoln Before Washington? Gimme a break.

FDR is not number 3. Maybe something like 10 and only because he happened to help win WWII. Then again his selfishness in staying president while he was basically comatose at Yalta helped cause the cold war.

Truman is 7.

George Bush will get up there if Iraq is successful. You can’t really judge a president until about a generation after he’s left office.

I agree with most of the list at the top though. Props for putting Eisenhower and Reagan so high. They are characteristically underrated by our lefties here.

LBJ is an anomaly in the top. He was a disastrous president and his poor management of increasing civil rights led to mass riots and disaster on the domestic front. His mismanagement of the Vietnam war puts him near the bottom of the list as well.

Also carter is the worst of this century, well below nixon and dubya.

Few were more incompetent than Carter, but Wilson and FDR did far more damage to our founding principles.
