WASHINGTON -- More than 4 in 10 of American voters said President Donald Trump was the worst U.S. chief executive going back to World War II, according to a poll released Wednesday.

Trump was named by 41 percent in the Quinnipiac University poll. Barack Obama was second with 21 percent and Richard Nixon, who resigned due to the Watergate scandal, was third with 10 percent.

Obama, however, was also a close second on the list of best presidents, with 24 percent. President Ronald Reagan led the pack with 28 percent while Presidents John F. Kennedy and Bill Clinton tied for third with 10 percent. Seven percent of voters said Trump was the best president since World War II ...

1. I would go with Reagan as the worst

so much of what we are dealing with today started under his watch.

2. Reagan was pretty bad. I think Trump is worst just because

at the end of Reagan's term there were stuff to come back - the caretaker presidency of Bush 41 and then Clinton - with Trump - who knows what kind of america there will be later on this year, let alone the next election.

Bryant

5. I've Always Voted Him the Worst but Now With Trump I've had to Reconsider

With respect to economic issues he definitely is still the evil seed that spawned 3 decades of catastrophic policy

7. I'm not sure Reagan was even President for some of those years. He just read cue cards.

3. Trump is the worst abomination ever to occupy the Oval Office.

Obama is the GOAT of the post-WWII era. He inherited a nation in complete freefall, and left it in such good shape, his idiot successor couldn't wait to take credit for it all. That speaks volumes. He ran a smooth ship with no scandals under his belt. He worked wonders, all while dealing with the most uncooperative GOP House in history. The fact that he's bookended by the two worst presidents of all-time makes him stand out that much more. Reagan? He couldn't shine Obama's shoes.

11. Weve got a few around here who refuse to give Obama any credit

Just had someone tell me that Bill Richardson was just as brilliant as Obama and would have made a better president. Bill. Richardson.
