Obama tops list of ‘worst presidents’ since WWII
Print Edition
A new poll yesterday found President Barack Obama, who is enduring a tough second term, topping a list of the worst United States leaders since World War II.
The survey, by the polling institute at Quinnipiac University, revealed that 33 percent of those asked saw Obama as the worst leader in the last 70 years. Twenty-eight percent picked his predecessor, Republican George W Bush.
Quinnipiac said that 35 percent saw Republican Ronald Reagan, president from 1981 to 1989, as the best US leader since 1945, with 18 percent choosing Bill Clinton and 15 percent going for the assassinated John F Kennedy.
“Over the span of 69 years of American history and 12 presidencies, President Barack Obama finds himself with President George W Bush at the bottom of the popularity barrel,” said Tim Malloy, Quinnipiac assistant director of polling.
The poll was consistent with other recent surveys, showing Obama’s job approval ratings touching near historic lows of nearly 40 percent.
