President former president George W. Bush may not be running in elections any more, but he’s still winning votes. At least as the worst President of the modern era:

Since 1982, the Siena Research Institute has polled presidential scholars on whom they view to be best and worst presidents in American history, based on a variety of issues from “integrity” to economic stewardship. This year’s poll of 238 scholars found that President Franklin Roosevelt was once again ranked on top, joined by Presidents Lincoln, Jefferson, Washington, and Teddy Roosevelt to complete the top five. However, President George W. Bush did not fare well since the last poll was conducted in 2002. He dropped 16 places to 39th, making him the worst president since Warren Harding died in office in 1923, and one of the bottom five of all time, according to the experts…

However, Georgie might not have quite attained his level of incompetence in the poll yet. He’s still rated as only the second stupidest (after Warren G. Harding). The four worst presidents “have held that dubious distinction each time the survey has been conducted”. Perhaps the next time around, Georgie will displace one of them?
