Americans place Lincoln at top of greatest presidents\' poll, George W. Bush ahead of Reagan
Mon Feb 18, 5:16 PM ET

WASHINGTON - Abraham Lincoln has moved to the top of the list of greatest presidents in an ABC News poll for President\'s Day that saw George W. Bush ease ahead of Ronald Reagan (news - web sites) in the overall survey and among Republicans.

 
Lincoln was chosen by 20 percent, while the current president and John F. Kennedy were essentially tied for second — with Kennedy at 14 percent and Bush at 13 percent. Reagan, Bill Clinton and Franklin Roosevelt were tied for third at 8 percent apiece.

In the same ABC poll a year ago, Reagan was at the top with 18 percent, Kennedy 16 percent and Lincoln 14 percent.


Kennedy and Lincoln were tied atop the list among Democrats this year, whereas Lincoln was the easy winner among independents, and Bush and Lincoln led among Republicans, with Reagan slightly behind them.

Lincoln was first among whites, but second among blacks, who overwhelmingly chose Clinton as the greatest president. One of Lincoln\'s best known achievements was freeing the slaves during the Civil War. Roosevelt was the leader among those 65 and older.

The poll was conducted Feb. 13-17 among a sample of 1,025 adults and had an error margin of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

I would have voted for Clinton, just because he seems like a cool guy to just hang out with.

I would have a tough time placing Clinton on my list of presidents let alone greatest presidents.

It shows how much Americans know about history.  I\'m included.  I don\'t know a heck of a lot as well, but what\'s sad is I know more than 70% of americans and that is sad.

Eisenhower wasn\'t president during WW2. It was President Truman. He made the call to drop the A-bombs in Japan.

GW Bush and Kennedy TIED!!!  hah hah ha that\'s funny as hell. Clinton and Roosevelt tied for third is almost equally disgusting.  I think I\'m going to be sick.

Here\'s my list:

1.  Thomas Jefferson
2.  Franklin Roosevelt
3.  Abraham Lincoln
4.  Andrew Jackson
5.  John Kennedy
Honorable mention:  Warren Harding :laughing:

What about William Henry Harrison?  He was in office like 30 days, got drunk, passed out in the snow, and died of pnemonia.  Now he accomplished some stuff!

No one has mentioned that Clinton gave us the largest economic boom in US history.  If u like money, then u gotta give Clinton some props.

Actually, the economic boom was a direct result of.............




























Reaganomics. (you can\'t give clinton credit for that, the cogs were turning while he was still bangin\' secretaries in Arkansas.)

How do you explain the recession during George Bush\'s term then?  The true answer is the economic boom was the direct result of .....

NO PRESIDENT!

All politicians take credit for crap they had nothing to do with.  This is one of the oldest truisms in western civilization.  Get used to it. :laughing:
