I was gonna say "Two words: Internet poll" until I saw this:
(I guess you wouldn't reelect Bush unless you really thought Reagan
was the greatest. God help us).

Greatest U.S. President? Public Names Reagan, Clinton, Lincoln
Most Americans would not want their child to grow up to be president
by Joseph Carroll
A recent Gallup Poll finds Americans rating Ronald Reagan as the greatest president in history, followed by Bill Clinton, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy. Republicans and Democrats differ sharply in their views of the greatest president, with Republicans most often mentioning Reagan and Democrats most often mentioning Clinton. When asked to choose the greater president of the two, Americans pick Lincoln by a wide margin over George Washington. Most Americans say they would not want their child to grow up to become president someday.
