In a recent poll Americans were asked to rate all presidents from 1950-2000 on a scale from 1-10.
Only 4 presidents scored above a 5.0 and they were:
1. JFK – 7.6
2. Reagan – 6.9
3. Eisenhower 6.8
4. Clinton 6.7
Though, if asked what president they would bring back, the winner wasn’t Kennedy, the top winner for that was Reagan with 24% choosing him.
The poll asked more than 2,000 adults this past summer. The poll was conducted as a professor is releasing a book about popular conspiracy theories, the top one being Kennedy’s assassination.
This proves of the strong legacy JFK left even though he was in office for a short time.
