Asked to rate all the presidents from 1950-2000...

The close clustering of Dutch, Ike and Bubba (6.9, 6.8, 6.7) is interesting. Seems to be a ceiling at 7 for modern presidents who live out their terms.

...Asked to rate all the presidents from 1950-2000 on a scale of 0 to 10, Kennedy scored the highest, at 7.6. He was followed by Ronald Reagan, at 6.9, Dwight Eisenhower, at 6.8, and Bill Clinton, at 6.7. None of the other presidents scored above a 5.0.

Nevertheless, Kennedy would not be Americans’ first choice to bring back as the next president, if any former leader alive or dead could serve again. Asked who they would most want to bring back, 24 percent of adults chose Reagan, 21 percent chose Clinton and 13 percent chose Kennedy. Abraham Lincoln was next, at 9 percent...

That rating only shows that the public is still being fooled by that worthless piece of shit. He should have gone to prision for Iran/Contra and as far as I'm concerned he should have gone to jail for firing the opening volly in the war on labor when he fired the air traffic controllers. The deification of a turd doesn't remove the smell.
