Trump Gets Most Votes As Worst President Since WWII, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds

Source: Quinnipac University Poll

Donald Trump is the worst of the 13 presidents who have served since the end of World War II, 41 percent of American voters say, followed by 21 percent who list Barack Obama and 10 percent who cite Richard Nixon, in a Quinnipiac University National Poll released today.

Looking at the best president since 1945, 28 percent say Ronald Reagan. Another 24 percent list Barack Obama, with 10 percent each for Bill Clinton and John Kennedy.

President Trump is fifth on the list, with 7 percent, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN- uh-pe-ack) University Poll finds.

Trailing Trump are Dwight Eisenhower, with 4 percent; Harry Truman and Jimmy Carter with 3 percent each; Lyndon Johnson, with 2 percent, and Richard Nixon, George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush, all with 1 percent each. Gerald Ford scores less than 1 percent.

For Eisenhower to end up below trump is a major signal.
They just did not know most of the names.
Not unusual.

Wilson, Taft, and Hoover were better presidents. He beats Nixon hands down, and that's saying something.

Should have been stated as since the Revolutionary War.

As one presidential historian said when asked where Trump would rank, "Our 15th president must be smiling in his grave." Buchanan will no longer be at the bottom of the list.

I find it hard to believe we now have a president who is far worse than Tricky Dick.
