A new Pew Research Center poll says more Americans rank former President Barack Obama higher than any other when asked which president has done the best job in their lifetimes.

Obama was named the best or second best president by 44 percent of Americans in the survey that came out Wednesday. Thirty-one percent ranked him as the best president in their lifetimes.

President Donald Trump comes in fourth after President Bill Clinton and President Ronald Reagan, with 19 percent of Americans ranking him as the best or second best in their lifetimes.

Depending on the ages of those polled.

In my lifetime there was Ike, JFK, LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton, Bush II, Obama and Trump.

Someone born in 2001 has just Bush II, Obama, and Trump to choose from.
