as for a question who was one of the worst presidents, I would have to say george w bush he wasn't even welcome to show up at the convention which should of been his swan song. a place for him to bask in the glory of his admin. but even his own people didn't want him. what he left office with a 23% positive rating while obama is enjoying 68% positive.

sour grapes people.

Professional historians have placed Clinton at 15th best and W. Bush at 36th worst.

Your poll is childish. Time to grow up and accept that there are people who don't share your philosophy but can still run a country (unless 8 years of peace and prosperity under Clinton was a bad thing...?)

George W. Bush was the worst president by a mile !!!

Doing nothing to prevent 9/11, lying to start a war in Iraq, leaking an undercover CIA to press, allowing economy to tumble into chaos.

Nobody else even comes close.

Clinton was one of the best. He had a very high approval rating when he left office.

Although it's still early to tell, Obama may likely become the greatest president ever !!!

I would definitely say "W";but an honorable mention for one action goes to William Howard Taft for getting his fat a-- stuck in the presidential bathtub and the fire department had to come out and get him unwedged!!!

Uhmm the poll is flawed.
There have been many bad presidents. Obama isn't in long enough to be rated yet.
Taft comes to mind. Carter comes to mind, Grant comes to mind. And of course GWB. Yes he got some things right. For example he invested more money into Autism research than all presidents before him combined.
To be fair he inherited 911. The plan was laid and implemented before he ever took office. Its how he followed up afterwards that he fumbled on, and he owns that. Like it or not our economy collapsed under his watch so he owns this as well. Yes he had a lot of help from our elected reps, most of which got a complete walk.
Analogy. Your football team gets beat 56 to 3. Bush is the quarterback. He threw 3 interceptions. But what happened to the defence? The special teams? The other members of the offence? They all failed to do their jobs.
Congress failed us. Senate failed us. It was not 1 man who failed us.
Partisan politics Failed us.
