A comfortable majority of Republicans believe that history will not be kind to President Barack Obama, a new poll conducted by Zogby International shows.
The polling firm found that although 41 percent of Americans believe it is too soon to judge where Obama will stand in the pantheon of U.S. presidents, 70 percent of Republicans are already prepared to assign Obama to the bottom-third of all former Commander in Chiefs.
Conversely, 30 percent of Democrats believe Obama will be remembered among the top-third and 83 percent claim his predecessor George W. Bush will be ranked among the bottom.
The poll, which was conducted January 15-18th with the participation of 1,963 Americans, finds that Abraham Lincoln is ranked as the greatest U.S. president.
Overall totals show that 37 percent of Americans regardless of party believe Obama will be in the bottom third. 49 percent that believe Bush belongs in the bottom third as well.
