Reagan Leads Pack, Bushes Bring Up the Rear in New President

Post by Riddick » 06-04-2013 12:28 AM

Apparently Americans are none too eager to see a Bush each time they reach into their wallets for who knows what.

According to a new poll published by Vanity Fair, only 6 percent of Americans would prefer former presidents George H.W. Bush or George W. Bush “to be the face of a new bill.” Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Barack Obama and Ronald Reagan were all more popular choices for the hypothetical honor. For those interested, Reagan took top honors scoring a whopping 38 percent of the vote.

The poll, which asked a variety of questions that garnered some disturbing results -- “Born In The U.S.A.” for the national anthem? Seriously? -- interviewed 1,072 adults between April 18 and 21. You can see the complete poll results over at the Vanity Fair website.

Just to be clear, this was a poll based on a hypothetical question, so don't expect to see Reagan on your greenbacks anytime soon.

Huff and Vanity are pretty far left. I believe that they would put "Jack the Rippers" picture on money, if he was a good Democrat.

I always remember the Democrat that was elected in Oregon twice, even though he wore a "Tiger suit" and molested his biggest benefactor's daughter. I believe he is finally enrolled in "basket weaving 1". Who says there is no justice?

At that rate, it's interesting Reagan got a big nod in the poll. Perhaps that could indicate a not-insigificant contingent of "Reagan Democrats" amongst the Vanity Fair readership, along with the general electorate?

It's been awhile since Dems defected to the GOP candidate in any great numbers in a presidential election - Considering the kind of attention he's been getting from Democratic donors as of late, provided he's the nominee come 2016 the next one could be Chris Christie.
