Tanned, rested and dead

A new Quinnipiac University poll places George W. Bush atop the list of worst American presidents since 1945.

When you beat Nixon two-to-one in this race, you got troubles.

Bush is named by 34 percent of voters, followed by Richard Nixon at 17 percent and Bill Clinton at 16 percent.

The current president is ranked worst by 56 percent of Democrats, 35 percent of independent voters and 7 percent of Republicans, the poll finds.

Among young voters, 42 percent list Bush as worst. Clinton tops the "worst" list among white Protestants - 24 percent, and white evangelical Christians - 29 percent.
