That is so rank: Gallup, on the presidents

That is so rank: Gallup, on the presidents Washington Examiner

"What do presidential rankings say about America?
Apparently, we are nostalgic -- for better economic times (see: Bill Clinton, ranked third) and happier, sun-drenched days aboard the presidential yacht (JFK).

Gallup likes to take America's pulse every year on how we perceive as we look back.
Here are the current Gallup rankings:

Kennedy, 85 percent
Reagan, 74 percent
Clinton, 69 percent
G. H.W. Bush, 64 percent
Ford, 61 percent
Carter, 52 percent
LBJ, 49 percent
GW Bush, 47 percent
Nixon, 29 percent

Huh.
Carter more than Bush?
And...Ford's 61 percent?
Gallup noted that Kennedy has ranked first since 1990.
Also:
The most notable changes in this year's update are a nine-point drop in Carter's approval rating and eight-point increases in those for Clinton, George H.W. Bush, and Johnson."
