Poll Has Voters Choose Best And Worst Presidents Since 1945

Posted on the 09 March 2018 by Jobsanger


In the latest Quinnipiac University Poll, voters were asked to name the best and worst presidents since 1945 (the end of World War II). The survey was done between March 3rd and 5th of 1,122 voters, and has a margin of error of 3.5 points.
The best presidents picked by voters were Ronald Reagan (28%) and Barack Obama (24%). John Kennedy and Bill Clinton shared third place with 10% each. Trump's die-hard supporters were able to lift him into fifth place with 7%.
But his supporters couldn't keep Trump from being named the worst president since 1945. About 41% named him the worst -- 20 points more than the 21% who said the worst was Obama.
Two things are clear from the survey -- Trump is the least respected of any president, and the country still views Obama in a very partisan way (putting him in second place on both the best and worst lists).
