YOUGOV is headquartered in the UK with an office in the Silicon Valley. Blackrock has a 15% stake in the company. They conduct polls of 1000 people once a week to obtain the pulse on a variety of issues.

Any poll that places Reagan on top and I don't care how accurate it is on other POTUS's, is seriously flawed. Reagan should have remained in Hollywood in second rate movies where the ony harm he did was at the box office.

JFK is the headliner outcome of this poll conducted by YOUGOV based on a sampling of 1000 people.
The general public is encouraged to register to receive email polls to earn " cool rewards".

Wait, what?

What is this thing called "read?"



Another one bites the dust.

Getting elected does not make a POTUS great. It's his legacy and Reagan's legacy was placing the destruction of the middle class on the fast track. Read your history. Are you one of those that STILL buys into his failed voodoo economic policies forty some odd years after the fact? Even the Pope is publicly denouncing the voodoo that Reagan cursed us with.

He had charisma and employed top notch script writers. As an actor, he was well equipped to read the script. His staff would write scripts for phone calls to wish someone happy birthday. He spent most of his 2 terms holed up at his ranch slowing exhibiting signs of dementia.

He, like all, was well intended. He promised to balance the budget and never did. The debt tripled under his watch. Immigration reform was passed and he promised to secure the borders. He never did. Then again, no one who followed did so.

No matter how high a fence or how much paid to patrol it, so long as a blind eye is turned towards employment of illegal workers, they will come.
