From Politico:
As the 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s assassination approaches
next month, polling released Tuesday as part of a new book about
Kennedy’s legacy shows that he remains one of the most highly rated
presidents of the past 50 years.
Asked to rate all the presidents
from 1950-2000 on a scale of 0 to 10, Kennedy scored the highest, at
7.6. He was followed by Ronald Reagan, at 6.9, Dwight Eisenhower, at
6.8, and Bill Clinton, at 6.7. None of the other presidents scored above
a 5.0.
Nevertheless,
Kennedy would not be Americans’ first choice to bring back as the next
president, if any former leader alive or dead could serve again. Asked
who they would most want to bring back, 24 percent of adults chose
Reagan, 21 percent chose Clinton and 13
percent chose Kennedy. Abraham Lincoln was next, at 9 percent.
The findings, from a survey of more than 2,000 adults conducted this
summer, were released Tuesday to coincide with the release of a new book
from University of Virginia political scientist Larry Sabato, which
takes on evidence of popular conspiracy theories about Kennedy’s
assassination and analyzes his lasting legacy.
