It's no surprise to see Abraham Lincoln, the man who held the nation together when it was on the brink of collapse, atop the list of greatest American presidents. But many other presidents are judged far differently by experts than by the general public.

      Clearly Bill Clinton will not like the ranking of #23 while on the other hand Bush supporters will not like seeing G.W. tied with Nixon at number 37 out of 43.

      Wow, so Polk comes in at #9, ahead of Wilson, JFK and most of the founding fathers. Must read up on Polk. Manifest Destiny, indeed.

        I can't believe they ranked H.W.Bush ahead of Bill Clinton!
        Then to have W at 37, when he should clearly be last on the list!!

        G.W. is the one who held the nation together this time but the media hates him so much that his impact was neutralized.

        In regard to "Holding the nation together" Mr. O is going to be rated at a big "Not so much".

        When unemployment pops up to 20% next year and inflation is at about the same number his approvals will sink into single digits and remain there for the rest of the term. The only light at the end of this tunnel of his own making will be that congress's approval rating will be even lower than his.

          So I can't understand why Harrison is so far down on the list of worst presidents...he only had 32 days in office so he could not had that many policy blunders. not2needy, W., while a jackass indeed, shouldn't be last. Buchanan let half the country secede and did nothing to stop. He allowed the country to tear itself apart, he should be last.

            LBJ is ranked a little higher than what I would have thought, but his civil rights record helps him a great deal despite all that Vietnam mess.

              Is Propeller now the posting place for all things from the UK?
              How about we making a list of British royalty - an inbred group of self-indulgent miscreants - & the Brits can then discuss what we have already decided? - Oooops forgot in that progressive nation it's not legal to publish nasties about the royal leeches -er, family

                LBJ should have been # 1 any president willing to show off his surgical scars & lift the revered White House pooch by it's ears is deserving of the #1 spot.
