As if the opinions of a sample group drawn from who knows where, answering questions which may or may not be slanted, means anything. Otherwise, there would be no reason to vote. Instead, the purpose of many polls is more often to influence votes.

My dad has told me that President Truman saved his butt and got him out of the Army while WWII was going on. A college professor told me her parents have high respect toward HST.
If this makes HST a poor president, then so was Reagan, Bush (both), Lincoln, Nixon, Ford and every single GOP president, governor, senator, representative.
I've been to Truman's presidential library twice, looking forward to my next visit. I absolutely loved Clinton's library!
