FDR is the correct answer. Objectively, he is clearly the most competent/accomplished/influential/significant etc.

To rank the others based on personal opinion:

1. TR
2. LBJ
3. Truman
4. Eisenhower
5. Kennedy
6. Wilson
7. Clinton
8. Reagan
9. Coolidge

No one has done more for the country we live in than the Roosevelt who didn't imprison an entire nationality based on bigotry. TR by a fair margin.

Coolidge, who in my opinion represents everything good about America.  He didn't meddle in the daily lives of Americans or in the affairs of foreign nations very often.  He also tried to confront America's oldest problem decades before Brown v. Board of Education or Loving v. Virginia.

Yeah, I have a lot of respect for FDR and how he handled the war, I would have voted for him over any other candidate.
