#5 I predict Kennedy will slide once people who remember his assassination are dead.
Bill Clinton and George Washington a tie? Comparing apples to road-apples.
I would bid that John Adams should be on the list. He kept us out of a war with Britain during the time of the French Revolution that a lot of the Colonies were agitating for.
Good to see Truman get a nod.
Funny how so many Democrats from today's point of view would have been Republicans. FDR was hugely against public sector unions (like a 4-term Nixon in terms of his policies) and Kennedy and Truman were Cold-War hawks, IMO.

#6 Don't forget folks - this was a NEWSWEEK poll of likely voters. I'm betting it was HEAVILY biased in favor of Dems which is why it's no surprise that Clinton and FDR are in the top 10, or that W is dead last, but it is an absolute JAW dropper that Reagan is #2 and that Obama ranks behind NIXON.

Even misty-eyed Dems can't rehabilitate Carter...

He sure as heck wasn't the best, but he wasn't the worst either. Salt the results of this poll accordingly.

#8 Let's hope the likely voters still feel Obama is worse than Carter in the fall. Doesn't look like Champ will be on Mount Rushmore.

#9 Carter Was a Better President than Obama.

I am convinced history will treat Carter as such. Although I suspect it [history] is being re-written even now.
