Tie with Reagan and George Washington.As another poster pointed out, George Washington could have been a dictator but he was a great man who did not want that.
Ronald Reagan of course.Reagan was an everyman, essentially a regular guy who moved up in his career then got involved with politics because he hated where the country was going.Reagan fought the good fight and despite the detractors, he won in 1980 and turned the economy around while defeating the Soviets, who we had dicked around with since the murder of JFK.Reagan left office with a 64% approval rating and a recovered economy, best modern President.
No offense but some of you guys should really think about FDR.I used to admire him but things I've learned over past few years, he was not so great.Wartime leadership was excellent but his economics, ehhh not so much.
