Former President Bill Clinton is currently more well-liked by Americans than both of his successors. Sixty-one percent view him favorably, compared with 52% for President Barack Obama and 45% for former President George W. Bush.
Bill Clinton More Popular Than Barack Obama

Looks like nostalgia is influencing the numbers. It's easy to romanticize the past.

Dang, George is doing pretty good, considering the 8 years of lies, smears and pounding from the Left and the media.

When put up against obama, the longing for Bush is apparent.

They were all terrible leaders. You probably have to go back to Teddy Roosevelt to get one that didn't purposely try to Usurp power from states to the Feds.

JFK wouldn't have been bad, but they didn't want him alive.

I like Clinton and Obama.

W is just a whole different story. He was and is a curse for the USA.

Exactly. Put up a poll for every Senator and Congressman in the last 100 years...and I'll vote those all unfavorable, too.

I would have to say Clinton and Bush were draws-neither were great successes nor failures. Both did some great to good things as well as bad things. Obama is a complete failure thus far.
