Presidential Poll

AOL ran a poll yesterday asking customers to rank the last four presidents in the order that history will favorably judge them. Below are the results and the "first place" percentages.

1) Ronald Reagan 50%
2) Bill Clinton 29%
3) George H W Bush 10%
4) George W Bush 11%

True conservatives would have Reagan in first place and "W" in second. "W's" first place votes no doubt are cast by those who truly grasp the gravity of our struggle with radical Islam and figure his stature will rise with the perspective that only time provides. Bill Clinton's first place votes are purely Democrat-Liberal.

But the numbers demonstrate that among a generally liberal population (AOL customers) two conservatives garner 60% of the first place votes. To me this indicates that even among likely Democrat voters - Bill Clinton's presidency is recognized for what it was - and perhaps the post-9/11 chatter may be revealing even more of his shortcomings.
