Miss Him Yet?

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll shows that 26 percent of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Obama is performing his role as president, while 44 percent Strongly Disapprove.

I think approval rating polls are rarely interesting (exception: Andy Griffith’s approval rating is down 25 points ), but it provides fodder for today’s hypothetical question:

Assuming you disapprove of Obama’s performance, would you be willing to replace Obama with one of the two remaining Democratic Presidents—Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton? Set aside all of the Constitutional hurdles and consider which man you’d prefer to finish out this current term: Carter, Clinton, or Obama?
