Treat this with caution, because the poll in the US has a margin of error of plus or minus Israel:

For nearly one-out-of-three voters (32%), Jimmy Carter is the living ex-president who has done the best job since leaving the White House, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.

Carter, who served in the White House from 1977 to 1981, ranks first among the four surviving presidents. George W. Bush, who has only been out of office seven months, comes in last with nine percent (9%) support.

Bill Clinton, president from 1993 to 2001, made headlines again last week when he successfully brought two imprisoned U.S. women reporters home from North Korea. He is viewed by 29% as the ex-president who has performed best since stepping down as chief executive.

It’s impossible to disagree with the results of this poll. The best thing that Jimmy Carter ever did for America and the rest of the world was to leave office, and as such he’s not only the best living ex-president, but possibly the best ex-president ever.
