Too many nowadays don't remember Jimmy Carter and that other piece of trash, Woodrow Wilson....but they will sure rember the current TWAP!

I can't see George Washington with such a high number, unless it was because he owned slaves........ :???:

I don't believe this at all. Probably most people didn't have a clue who most of these folks were.

My guess is that they selected someone they knew which accounts for the ratings on the last ten or so. It also looks like they took all the scores and subtracted them from 100% and gave the rest to G, Washington.

This poll has zero credibility.

I tend to agree with you on this one... how George Washington rated over 70% seems questionable.. takes away any credibility of the poll.

I couldn't find any methodology, but to me, it looks like they had 100% going to Washington, and as the votes were cast, they subtracted them from the 100%
