George Bush can be included in your list.
By George Bush I mean both Bush I and Bush II
 
wow you are loking for this answer arent you

1. bush sr.
2. bush jr.
3. reagan.

here is the real results.

1. hoover.
2 carter.
3. johnson.
 
Jimmy Carter - responsible for Iran and the current mess in the middle east.

FDR- responsible for bankrupting the future generations of the country.

Bill Clinton - responsible for the worst supreme court Justices the nation has ever seen.
 
Lyndon B Johnson, Richard Nixon, Herbert Hoover, Teddy Roosevelt, George Washington, and Harry S. Truman. Sorry, But I doubled it.
 
Worst: Coolidge (totally bought by big business), Wubya (the war, the lies, New Orleans), Harding (scams). Check the link for multiple polls on this.
 
I'd go with

1) Herbert Hoover (Great Depression)

2) Richard Nixon (Watergate)

3) and a tie between Jimmy Carter and George W. Bush (economic failings; caused from extremism of economic theories, just coming from opposite sides of the political spectrum).
 
If you're looking for a legitimate answer, here is a link to several historical surveys:

1. Franklin Pierce. He put us on a path to Civil War and depression (the Panic of 1857 that began right after he left office).

2. James Buchanan. He never lifted a finger to prevent said war or mitigate said depression.

3. Richard Nixon. A criminal in foreign wars and in domestic affairs.

George W. Bush? He's up there (or perhaps "down there"), but he really wasn't the big problem in his Administration. Cheney was. He's more like Harding, or what some liberals (with some justification but not much) called Reagan: An amiable dunce. There wasn't a whole lot of malice to what he did. Contrast that with Cheney, and with Nixon, both of whom personified political malice in their respective generations.
 
1. Buchanan
2. Hoover
3. FDR

By the way, for those of you who obviously skipped your American history classes in high school, Bush isnt even in the top 10, and all thumbs down prove me right ; )
 
Lyndon Johnson, Bill Clinton, and Herbert Hoover. Lies, deception, and cowardice would be the main reasons for my vote !
