Not that I'm defending him, but I'm pretty sure we've had way lousier presidents than Bush #2.  Face it- it's popular to be "anti-Bush" (especially among young people), but saying he's the WORST president might betray any knowledge of US history some people claim to have.

Franklin Pierce, anyone?

 
I agree Bush-bashing is popular these days, but it's hard to ignore the fact that he has the worst approval rating of any president in the history of tracking approval ratings - how can tens of millions of people all be wrong?
 
More importantly, Pierce's poor legacy is largely a reflection of him being a drunken ass who alienated large portions of the American populace, and at a time when the nation was deeply divided internally.  Grant was a pretty lousy president as well, and for some of the same reasons.
 
But Bush's ineptitude rises to new levels because the damage he and his ilk have done go far, far beyond our own borders.  He has left his stain on many other parts of the world, and in doing so has shamed our nation on an international stage.  Pierce (and pretty much all presidents prior to WWII) never had the power or the reach to make such a broad impact.
 
 
First of all, not ALL of them are doing it to go with the flow of anti-bush people (though about half are). The other half are uninformed about what's really going on in the world, because most everything is Nancy Pelosi, and the liberal congress's fault.

On the plus side this is the first poll where George Bush has actually led in quite some time!  LOL

How could you say Reagan was one of the best presidents the US had?  He sent the Welfare State to hell.

Now more to the point of the immediate poll question.  Nixon was evil, corrupt, scheming, and paranoid.  Bush has no such good qualties.

let us all just step back, take a deep breath, and remember that there are three branches of government at the federal level and that they are all too powerful

There's no age limit on hatred.

Well, speaking of Nixon (even though he only has one vote LOL)...

Deep Throat revealed himself, and then died.

Extra, extra, read all about it, and all that:

Apparently got beat up a little and a broken arm so far as I've read.  And this guy is now regarded as a bit of a hero by many in the Islamic world.  I personally wouldn't go that far, but there are many of my fellow citizens who would.

And now for some shoe related humor:

Who beat him up?? If it was W who beat him up I'd laugh, though I know he wouldn't beat a guy up.
 
Was it another Iraqi??
