Poll: Obama worst president since WWII

By JONATHAN TOPAZ | 7/2/14 6:36 AM EDT Updated: 7/2/14 4:42 PM EDT

A plurality of voters think Barack Obama is the worst president since World War II, a new poll says.

According to a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday, 33 percent of voters think the current president is the worst since 1945.

Obama’s predecessor, former President George W. Bush, came in at second-worst with 28 percent, and Richard Nixon was in third place with 13 percent of the vote. After Jimmy Carter, who 8 percent of voters said was the worst president in the time period, no other president received more than 3 percent.

Thirty-five percent of voters said Ronald Reagan was the best president since World War II, receiving nearly twice as many votes as any other former president. Bill Clinton came in second place at 18 percent, while John F. Kennedy came in third with 15 percent of the vote and Obama came in fourth with 8 percent saying he was the best.



All other remaining presidents received 5 percent or less. Five percent of voters said Dwight D. Eisenhower was the best president since 1945, while 4 percent said Harry Truman. Lyndon Johnson and George H.W. Bush each received 3 percent. George W. Bush came in at 1 percent.


Forty-five percent of voters said the U.S. would be better off with Mitt Romney serving in the White House, compared to 38 percent who said the country would be in worse shape.

The survey comes as Obama in recent weeks has found his popularity at the lowest levels of his presidency.

The Quinnipiac poll reported more bad news about the president’s approval and competency ratings. Forty percent of voters approve of the job Obama is doing, compared with 53 percent who disapprove. Fifty-four percent of voters say the Obama administration is not competent at running the government.
The survey was conducted June 24-30 with 1,446 registered voters on land lines and cellphones. The margin for error is plus or minus 2.6 percentage points.

I like that it has big winners and losers on both sides. Reagan and Clinton >>>>> Obama and Bush

At this point I think everyone can agree Obama is the biggest piece of shit ever created. Not a single redeeming value. Pure trash.

Obama and Bush are just the faces of the political machine that created them both. If it wasn't them it would be someone exactly like them.

The worst thing is that McCain, Romney, Gore and Kerry would have been the same.

Indeed. His supporters are human trash as far as I'm concerned. Guilt-ridden white cowards and racist minorities who only support him because of his skin color. They all make me sick.

In all seriousness, over 50% of the country is shitstains and human trash? Okay.

I mean, I think he's been a bad President and all, but you guys may need to drink some chamomile tea and meditate or something.

Will that chamomile tea make you change colors as you move around to different areas?

I get the pun, but you couldn't have chosen a worse one given the context of the discussion. :lol

I voted for him. Never received a government handout in my life and my wife and I are fully employed.

Same thing for the rest of my family but please continue with your rant.

to be fair, nothing even close to 50% of the country voted for him. Hell, barely 50% of the country even votes. I didn't.

(And no, I don't lose my "right to complain" just because I hated both candidates in both of his elections. If someone decent had been available to vote for, I'd have voted for them.)

That's kind of how I felt in 2004. I ended up voting for Kerry simply because I flat out loathed W and Cheney.

I did vote for W in 2000, though.

If you flat out loathed W and Cheney the 2nd time around, enough to lose your vote after voting for them the first time, I'm curious as to what Obama did to earn your vote the 2nd time?
