  1. The recency bias is definitely showing in the results of this Economist poll; while Obama was a good President, I wouldn’t go so far as to say that he’s the best *ever*. It was pretty close on the “Best President” side though:

    However, this is just insulting:

    While Roosevelt had a lot of issues, almost a century ago he gave us Social Security and all these social programs that are still in use today. The fact that respondents said that *Trump* of all people was better than him is plain insulting.

  2. Sleepy Don is not gonna be happy to hear this when he wakes up from one of his many naps

  3. People don’t have a grasp of history I see. It’s all fee fees and skin color with leftist, oh ya and catering to the lowest common denominators in society

  4. More than anything this does significant regency bias.

  5. Trump is definitely the worst, but Obama is not the best.

  6. To the surprise of nobody. Except Trump. He will use this as justification for starting a new war, or burning all federal land to the ground.

    He’s not a stable person.

  7. Ok, let’s put it this way. Obama is the best president of the 21st century, so far. While trump has basically been a disaster for our economy, our society, our Constitution, our laws and especially destructive towards our staunchest allies.

    Our county’s honor has been given a serious downgrade around the entire world. Our stature around the world grew significantly during the Obama years.

  8. This article was written almost 5 years ago….

  9. Obama only because there wasn’t a box labeled ‘blackest president’.

  10. Almost half? What the eff is wrong with you others?

  11. Probably an old poll from the UK 🤣
    Obama was an outstanding President.
    But any Democrat President is going to get pushback from Republicans and vice versa . It’s politics. Anything a Republican does then the Democrats say it’s racism and anything a Democrat does the republicans say it’s racism . It’s the most over used word in the last 15 years. Sorry if this sounds racist
