According to this poll, Most of America thinks so and so do I.
He edged out Abraham Lincoln, who abolished slavery, and civil rights leader Martin Luther King.
George Washington, the first US president who is considered the father of the nation, comes in at fourth place.
Current US President George W Bush #6 and his predecessor Bill Clinton #7 , whose presidency was tarnished by the Monica Lewinski sex scandal, are both in the top 10.

Are you kidding? If Reagan replaced into president, he could be procuring and promotion palms for the hostages like he did in the Iran Contra deal or call the pirates freedom warring parties like he did Osama Bin Ladin or purely get people the heck out like he did after the barracks bombing in Lebannon killed 2 hundred+ US Marines. Reagan wasn't a hard guy, he purely performed one on television and conservative Republicans have revised historic previous (lied) to make it seem as though Reagan replaced into some mythic chief while he wasn't. Reagan's greatness is plenty propaganda and whitewashing. He replaced right into a front guy who study his traces nicely. He did not face off to the U.S., he negotiated with them till they fell by using fact of inner mismanagement and strife. Obama needs to supply up listening to the suitable wing and do purely the suitable project. those goofballs will ***** no be counted what he does so he could desire to do what's suitable for the rustic.

No. Ronald Reagan is not a better American than Lincoln, Dr. Martin Luther King. Lincoln and Martin Luther King actually did GREAT things that changed our country forever and for the better. To even compare Regan to them is ridiculous. Reagan never did anything as great as they did for America.

If that poll is real, then it reflects very unfavorably upon the thinking skills of this majority of Americans. It is also probably indicative of the average American's gross lack of historical knowledge. I bet most people that think Reagan was the greatest American EVER probably have never heard of Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, and MLK. When this simple-minded majority has died, it will be replaced by a new simple-minded majority who has never heard of Reagan and who will probably think someone like Britney Spears is the greatest American EVER...

Wow, and I keep seeing things saying G.W. Bush is the worst ever! This is pretty funny actually.
Keep watching, this President's number will get better and will probably land better than George Washington.
Of course it is opinion and there is a lot to be desired with opinion polls.

I would have said Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, or Ralph Reed. But Reagan is my favorite president.

I would like to admire and respect him, but he killed so many trees back when he was president...I cannot forget nor accept that fact.
