Forty-one percent of voters cited him as the worst, followed by 21% of voters who listed Barack Obama and 10% who chose Richard Nixon. When asked who was the best president since World War II, voters ranked Trump fifth on the list. The Quinnipiac poll was conducted March 3-5 among 1,122 voters nationwide, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. The Monmouth poll was conducted March 2-5.
