When asked a question often discussed with dread at family Thanksgiving dinners, a plurality of voters 33 percent believe President Obama (or "Nobummer," amirite?) is the worst president since World War II. In second place on the same question was George W. Bush with 28 percent. These are the numbers you will read in several headlines today. The thing is, the "worst president since World War Two" results aren't really the worst numbers for the president in the Quinnipiac poll from which they're drawn.
Let's address the headlines first. In the Quinnipiac poll, Obama finds himself among a handful of post-war presidents who garner polarizing reactions from voters. Those presidents, roughly, are Kennedy, Reagan, and the three most recent: Obama, Clinton, and George W. Bush. When asked to choose the best post-war president, for instance, Ronald Reagan snagged 35 percent of voters. But 18 percent thought it was Kennedy. Clinton took 18 percent of voters, and 8 percent think it's Obama, putting him in fourth place. (George W. Bush, for what it's worth, had just 1 percent of voters on this question).
If you look at the political breakdown by party of who is saying Obama is the worst, it falls strongly along party lines, with a little bit of help from independents: 63 percent of Republicans chose Obama, while 54 percent of Democrats said George W. Bush. Independents voted "for" both: 23 percent said George W. Bush was the worst, while 36 percent chose Obama. On a similar question directly comparing Bush and Obama, the expected partisan divide is even stronger:

Obama will try his best to go even Lower
It took way too long. America continues to suffer.
He doesn’t care about numbers now. They are racist, right-wing concoctions. He doesn’t need ‘numbers’. He has a pen and a phone and a Congress that doesn’t have the cojones to stand up for anything. It is too busy condemning and scheming against true conservatives to be worried about OSAMA. They still believe in the Tooth Fairy and the very real possibility they can get that Hispanic vote if they only accede to AMNESTY.
What me worry?
(I wish I knew how to post the picture.)
This is all Bush’s fault.
I refer to him as OhVomit.
Strange.

If Jimmy Carter, LBJ and Nixon aren’t big performers on this list, we have a bunch of ignorant Americans.
