I get the day off, AND CNN took a poll to gauge American's rating of the past presidents...
Here are some stats to note...
George H Bush, currently ranked 36 out of 44. That puts him in the bottom 20th percentile for most sucky president. (They don't count Barack yet, since he's too new to tell, hence the total # of presidents at 44, not 45.) Bill Clinton has moved up to the 15th spot. As newer presidents become increasingly more feeble, Bill's rankings continue to climb. Ronald Reagan 'the great communicator' has moved from 6 to 10 in the latest poll.
The top 5 presidents in order are Abraham Lincoln who clinched the #1 spot in honor of his 200th birthday, George Washington #2, Franklin D. Roosevelt #3, Teddy Roosevelt #4, and Harry S. Truman #5. JFK missed the top 5 by 1 and came in 6th this year.
The bottom 5 include James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, Franklin Pierce, William Henry Harrison, and Warren G. Harding. (W. missed the bottom 5 by only 2 spots...)
