Who was the most generaly hated U.S. President from 1969-2005?

A quick point - is the rest of the world allowed to hate (or love) US Presidents? Because perceptions outside the US may be very different from those at home.

I recall growing up in Australia that Richard Nixon was considered a great statesman and the embodiment of American power (Watergate was perceived, like Lewinskygate a silly “only in America” soap opera :slight_smile: ), while Regan was loathed and pilloried as a bloodthirsty maniac. Jimmy Carter was seen as a man of peace. The current incumbent is widely perceived (and/or almost universally portrayed in the mass media) as being stupid, mean and dangerous. Even my most right wing friends cringe at our Prime Minister’s slavish devotion to him.

Lobotomies fixed behavior problems by DESTROYING (or disconnecting) PART OF THE BRAIN! It was about turning people into dull, managable zombies.

Another set of data points: the highest and lowest approval rating for every president since Roosevelt.

Sorting the lowest approvals (worst to less-worse), we get:

Truman 22
Nixon 23
Carter 28
GHW Bush 29
LJB 35 (tie)
Reagon 35 (tie)
Clinton 36
Ford 37
GW Bush 41
Eisenhower 48 (tie)
Roosevelt 48 (tie)
Kennedy 56

That pretty much answers the OP.
