I would have voted Roosevelt, if he'd been on the list.

I think most can agree Nixon is the worst on the list, though Johnson probably isn't far behind for some.
What I want to know is; who voted Carter?

However, Johnson is also arguably the worst President on the list, on account of the Vietnam disaster.
