These days presidential popularity is frequently in the news. President Trump’s numbers rise and fall (his overall popularity recently dipped below 40%, though his popularity among Republican voters remains very strong). But how does his popularity compare with all the other living ex-presidents?
YouGov, the public opinion and data company, has ranked the popularity of public figures in general, and among the 336 people on the list, each living president is featured. The rankings are based on more than 20 millions responses across a variety of populations and categories, and are updated weekly. So, while accurate as of July 27, 2018, the results below could change.
With that, here are the most popular living presidents among Americans.
