RealClearPolitics' political analyst Sean Trende weighs in with a
caveat about the Quinnipiac University poll showing Obama to be the worst post-war president.
What really drives this particular finding is that Republicans are much more unified in their dislike of Obama than Democrats are in their dislike of any particular GOP president.
Had Democrats been able to agree more on their least-favorite president, Obama might not have come in first.
Trende concludes:
This isn’t to dismiss the Quinnipiac poll in its entirety, which has some truly bad findings for the president and the Democrats.
Americans are basically split evenly on whether the worst postwar president was a Republican or a Democrat, which is what you’d expect in a 50-50 nation.
Republicans are crystal clear about who they like and don't like. They like Ronald Reagan. They don't like Barack Obama.
