Politics Poll finds that most college professors don’t rank Reagan among their top 10 presidents

Most college professors dont rank Reagan among their top 10 presidents

Almost one year ago this week Americans surveyed in a Gallup poll ranked Ronald Reagan the “greatest” United States President. Today a new poll released by Young America’s Foundation/TPC reveals that our nation’s university professors dont even rank the Gipper in the top 10.

“In a recent survey, 60 percent of college professors did not even rank President Reagan among the top ten Presidents. Begrudgingly, these educators admitted that Reagan’s Presidency was successful, but they rate him far lower than most Americans. ”

“In the YAF poll, not one of the 284 professors surveyed listed him as their top choice—60 percent didn’t even list President Reagan in their top ten.

They did, however, rate him as marginally more successful than President Obama. 61 percent of college professors rated President Reagan’s Presidency as ‘mostly a success,’ while 59 percent gave Obama the same mark.

When asked to grade the last five Presidents, President Reagan received a C+ on average. President George W. Bush received a D, underscoring just how much the Left still despises our 43rdPresident.

As a whole, 57 percent of professors identified themselves as ‘liberal’ and 16 percent as ‘conservative.’”

The Young America’s Foundation commissioned the survey in honor of Reagan’s 101st birthday, which is today. In reaction to the poll, Reagan Ranch Board of Governors Chairman Frank Donatelli said, “The leftist tilt of college professors is well known.  However, the fact that President Reagan is now viewed as ‘successful’ by 61% of this group is testament to the lasting accomplishments of our 40th President. The exceptional work of Young America’s Foundation in celebrating the 100th anniversary of Ronald Reagan’s birth has been important in educating all Americans about President Reagan’s accomplishments.”

The Young America’s Foundation is a principal outreach organization to the Conservative Movement, committed to ensuring that increasing numbers of young Americans understand and are inspired by the ideas of individual freedom, a strong national defense, free enterprise, and traditional values. The organization owns and preserves the Reagan Ranch.

    This is not surprising as most college professors are liberals.

    Reagan was a good president and might be in my top 10, but I can think of a few presidents that I would put ahead of him.

    1. George Washington
    2. James Madison
    3. Thomas Jefferson
    4. John Adams
    5. John Quincy Adams
    6. Abraham Lincoln
    7. Calvin Coolidge
    8. Warren G. Harding

      I always have difficulty ranking presidents because how do you judge the “best” president? By their resume, personal ability and character, or record? I think there are many Presidents who were truly fantastic, brilliant men with great careers who came into office having to immediately handle crisis or war that may have been entirely out of their control, or deal with a nation in general that was just looking to go a different direction, e.i. John Adams, Bush 41, and to some degree Truman and Bush 43. There are other presidents who I do not believe were personally exceptional but largely benefited by actions in congress and the private economy which they had little to do with: Clinton.

    And if you look at the report card, is it any wonder why there is such a huge chasm between Republican and Democrat ideologies?
    This election is much bigger, and more important, than the average voter realizes just yet. Forget all of the crap about how neither party is that different. That opinion is focused on the folks who go to Washington and get mesmerized by the size of the government tit and the power that they can realize if they drink from it. The D‘s and R’s in the general public are not as fanatical, but certainly follow the lead of the folks they elect to government.

      See now if we could only change the ink like Clinton did, Obama would smell like a rose!
      Libs gave him a B? Ooh I hope it wasn’t in red ink… poor Bommie.
