Who is the worst president since WWII ?
Posted by
CNN Political Editor Paul Steinhauser
(CNN) - President Barack Obama tops the list of the worst presidents since
World War Two, according to a new national poll.
And the survey, released Wednesday by Quinnipiac University, also indicates
that a plurality of voters nationwide say in hindsight that the country
would be better off if Mitt Romney had won the 2012 presidential election.
Thirty-three percent of people questioned in the poll say that Obama is the
worst president since the Second World War, with 28% saying George W. Bush
was the worst. Thirteen percent picked Richard Nixon, with 8% naming Jimmy
Carter.
"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, assistant director of the
Quinnipiac University Poll.
It's important to note that Obama and Bush, his predecessor in the White
House, are more in the public conscious than previous presidents, and that
both have governed during a time of bitter partisanship that's made
compromise between the two major political parties extremely difficult. When
Quinnipiac last asked the question, in 2006, Bush topped the list, with 34%
saying he was the nation's worst president.
According to the poll, Ronald Reagan (at 35%) tops the list of the best
president since WWII, with 18% saying Bill Clinton was best, followed by
John F. Kennedy at 15% and Obama at 8%.
Voters are divided on whether Obama's been a better president than his
predecessor, with 39% saying he's better than Bush and 40% saying he's worse
. No surprise, there's a wide partisan divide on this question.
Bush left office in January 2009 with very low poll numbers. But according
to a recent CNN/ORC International survey, his favorable rating now stands at
46%, up 11 percentage points over the past five and a half years. His
favorable rating, according to the CNN poll, is now on par with Obama. | b**********s

Better off if Romney had won?
Forty-five percent of those questioned say that America would be better off
if Romney had won the 2012 election, with 38% saying the country would be
worse off. Again, it's no surprise that 84% of Republicans say that America
would be better if Romney had won and nearly three quarters of Democrats
saying things would be worse.
For Romney, this endorsement's close to home
An adviser close to the former Massachusetts governor told CNN that he
received a bunch of calls Wednesday, following the release of the poll, from
donors who contributed to the 2012 Romney presidential campaign.
Spencer Zwick, the campaign finance chairman for Romney's 2008 and 2012
presidential campaigns, said that he thinks the poll "creates a hope and
interest from a lot of those donors who would have loved to seen Romney
become president but are hopeful there may be a shot in the future."
"It started a few months ago with donors saying 'do you think there's any
shot,' to donors now saying 'how do we convince him to do it.' Which is kind
of interesting because they have heard Gov. Romney say 'I'm not planning on
doing this again' and I think some of these donors don't want to take no
for an answer," added Zwick.
Romney has said over and over that he won't run for the White House a third
time.
"I'm not running," Romney last month on NBC's "Meet the Press," a line
Romney's used in interviews every time he's asked about 2016. Romney's wife,
Ann, has also been adamant against another run.
How many ways can Romney say no to 2016
Obama's job running the government
By a 54%-44% margin, the survey indicates that the Obama administration is
not competent in running the government.
The poll's Wednesday release comes as the scandal rocking the Department of
Veterans Affairs dominated headlines recently. It's the latest controversy
of the past year, following the NSA snooping scandal, the controversy over
the IRS targeting of some conservative non-profit groups, and the rough
rollout of the new federal health care law.
The President has also faced numerous international challenges, including
the new bloodshed in Iraq, the civil war in Syria, and the fighting in
Ukraine, as well as the controversial swapping of five Taliban prisoners
held at Guantanamo Bay for the release of a U.S. soldier held captive in
Afghanistan.
"This poll gives a window into the sentiment of Americans at the moment,"
said CNN Chief National Correspondent John King, who said he suspects the
numbers could change dramatically in four or five years.
The Quinnipiac University poll was conducted June 24-30, with 1,446
registered voters nationwide questioned by telephone. The survey's overall
sampling error is plus or minus 2.6 percentage points. | b****b
