It was one of those in-the-shower brainstorms for pollster John Zogby: Let's see which past A-list president voters wish they could put in the Oval Office to fix the nation and which of the major 2008 presidential hopefuls best matches that pick. Drumroll, please. In order: Ronald Reagan, at 28 percent, FDR at 26 percent, JFK at 21 percent, Abraham Lincoln at 16 percent, and just 6 percent for George Washington. And who's viewed as most Reaganesque? Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton. She also grabs the FDR and Washington mantle but falls far short of upstart Sen. Barack Obama for the JFK title.
Zogby says there are several messages from his just completed poll, provided exclusively to Whispers. Most obvious: If voters want a Reaganesque or Rooseveltian firm hand and vision in the White House, then Clinton looks like a good bet. But if they prefer the inspiration of JFK and Lincoln, then Obama's their guy. "It looks like youthful vigor has the best crossover appeal," says Zogby. It's not so clear on the GOP side. Only Rudy Giuliani scores well, seen as the most Lincoln-like and beating Sen. John McCain in every "most like" category. Ex-Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney ranks last in all but one. Zogby sees a biblical race between Jeremiah and Moses in how some major themes play out. "Moses had a plan to get to the Promised Land, and for Jeremiah the sky was falling." Who wins? "Hopefulness is the key."

I can't think of anyone more UnReagan like than Hillary.
Violates every single one of the Gipper's core principles, including
"The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'"
-Ronald Reagan-
Feel free to add to this list
But I'm sure Zogby HATED the gipper, these people fail to find any irony in anything.
"empty pantsuit"
I can't say that I agree with this. That pantsuit ain't empty, it's straining. Packed with what, well, I just don't want to think about it.
WTF?
Did he run this poll at an elementary school in Martha's Vineyard?
The first thing I thought of was Hillary filling up his boots with piss.
"Well, there you go again..."
(Etiher that or Whitwater billing records).
I have an idea where the Gipper's boots shouild go on Hilary, but this is a family forum no?
ZOGBY FLIGHT CONTROL
These people are idiots. Plain and simple.
Zogby has got to be a fake. Hillary is more like Hitler or Mussolini than Roosevelt. And she's never done a single damn thing in her life that wasn't a result of her husband and the positions he's held.
Hillary? Reagan? What a freakin' joke!
"Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first."
-Ronald Reagan-
The hag is just not fit!-- bannie
Touché, bannie.
HILLARY ON THE COUCH: IS MISSUS CLINTON MENTALLY FIT?
The good news is ,nobody put Bill Clinton on the list to bring back !!!
Just wondering what the wording of that poll might've been that would put Hillary on the level of Reagan, FDR and JFK?
Zogby polls mainly dems, anyway. Anyone here ever take a real Zogby poll? I've gotten a couple that seemed to be Zogby, but the stats released never matched any of the questions, unless the questions you answer automatically give them some kind of insight into who you would vote for, even among your own party...?
Most of Zogby polls are interactive Internet polls. You can sign up at his website.
I believe he also does telephone polling.
The sheeple today really don't know their history or what's really going on. I am always struck by how the media made JFK and this mystique to where he is listed up among the greats. They have built up the Clintoons with their propaganda as well. But Hillary really does look ridiculous. She has stayed away from tough questions and sticks to her talking points.
