I don't think one has to be a republican to look at that rating for Clinton and ask , "WHY?" I mean--what did he do to be ranked above Lincoln?

Notice the results of Clinton before and after his book, My Lie...I mean Life.

What is surprising is that George Washington isn't ranked number one. After all, he only helped found a Republic. Not a big deal to people that don't think about our ENTIRE history.

>>The three least popular presidents mentioned on the survey were George H. Bush, Dwight Eisenhower and Richard Nixon.<<

This says more about the public school system than it does about Presidents.

Just give history some more time, and this will all change.

Jimmy Carter ranked higher than Thomas Jefferson?

That is just wrong.

Bill Clinton before Abraham Lincoln? Try the bottom of the list with an asterisk that designates presidents who left office in shame and disgrace.

Well, it looks as if plenty of children got "left behind" over the years when it comes to American history. Scary.

Consider the source. I think this whole "survey" is just BS.

It says right here that most (95%) haven't a clue as to when most of these men were President or why they may have been important.

Considering a lot of Americans can't tell you the name of their Congressman, their two Senators, the Secretary of State, etc., etc., etc., this does not surprise me.

"Source: Gallup / CNN / USA Today"

Nuff said. That they could find 1008 people to take their poll is a surprise to me. Didn't know there were even 300 people that read USA Today.

Bill Clinton 15% for the biggest tax increase in history, the war in Kosovo(which is about to become 'un-resolved', and the definition of "is"

FDR 13% For socialist security and the "New Deal" which was more detrimental to the nation's economy than the depression.

JFK 12% for inflation, the Bay of Pigs, Castro, Vietnam, scandal, but an inspiring speech.

Jimmah Carter 3% for screaming inflation, the Iran hostage crisis, global cooling...er...global warming...er..., (granted these not as POTUS) a nuclear North Korea, Hugo Chavez and the spread of communism in the western hemisphere.

Oh yeah, easily top 10 for those contributions.

In my lifetime, the worst three American Presidents are Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter and Lyndon Johnson (in no particular order). That's the last three Democrat Presidents.

If they had been elected, Al Gore and John Kerry would have sunk even lower. I see a trend.
