Default Greatest President of the 20th/21st century?
Obviously the likes of Lincoln, Jefferson and Washington would dominate an "all time" one, so let's just narrow it down from McKinley to Obama. Poll on the way.

Ike, Teddy, or FDR as the best. might just be crazy go for Ike

other fun facts

LBJ is the most underrated

JKF the most overrated (though Truman is close)

Nixon the most interesing from a pure history fan perspective (the guy was actually insane)

Hoover/Bush the worst

They are all terrible, but went for Nixon. He at least was interestingly terrible.
