Considering how varied these lists always are (just see the Wikipedia page on the subject), putting the yellow box on here seems unnecessarily frustrating. Though #1 is always Lincoln, Washington, or FDR.. after that it's a bit of a crapshoot. I mean Jefferson is more often given the #4 spot than any other president and he's #7 on this list.

and George HW Bush has only been ranked in the top 20 once since leaving office, by C-SPAN, on the same list you used for this quiz. Nobody else has ever ranked him that high since 1990.

okay, I think that's an improvement. Wasn't aware of the NBC rankings. I don't think HW Bush was a terrible president, he certainly was much more competent than his son, but it's still very strange to see him on a top 20 list.

Got everyone except for Truman... Not quick to think of FDR's sidekick.
