Interesting. I would have put Madison, Monroe, Wilson, Kennedy, Clinton, and Jackson lower and put Harding, W. Harrison, Ford, Taft, Arthur, and John Adams higher.

Since the professorial field is overwhelmingly liberal Democrat, these findings are worthy of an eye roll and nothing more.  Anyone who thinks Bill Clinton was a better President than Ronald Reagan needs their head examined.  Obama in the top 15?  Lol.

Clinton was a better President than Reagan. At least Clinton managed to balance the budget three times, something which the self-proclaimed fiscally conservative Reagan failed to do even once.

Clinton only balanced the budget because he cut programs + raised taxes. And there was still a federal deficit.

Well that's good, considering that Reagan also did both and yet failed to balance the budget. And what deficit?



The deficit disappeared under Clinton. It only reappeared again under the self-proclaimed "fiscally conservative" Bush Jr.

During his three year tenure his greatest accomplishment was probably the Cuban Missile Crisis, which he handle admirably.

JFK was responsible for causing the Cuban Missile Crisis by placing American missiles in Turkey and provoking the U.S.S.R., thus causing them to place missiles in Cuba in retaliation. Not to mention that JFK shouldn't have screwed up the Bay of Pigs.
