A new survey shows Americans think Obama is the worst of the 12 U.S. presidents since 1945.

A new poll shows Americans think President Barack Obama is the worst commander in chief since World War II.

Unlike Ronald Reagan, who respondents determined to be the best president since World War II, Obama led the pack of the most disliked presidents. Of the 12 men who have taken over the Oval Office since 1945, 33 percent of voters surveyed said Obama is the worst.

The Quinnipiac University poll surveyed 1,446 registered voters nationwide from June 24-30. The margin of error was +/-2.6.

"Over the span of 69 years of American history and 12 presidencies, President Barack Obama finds himself with President George W. Bush at the bottom of the popularity barrel,” Tim Malloy, assistant director of the poll, said in a release.

What's more, results show that many Americans think Mitt Romney would have been a more effective president had he won the election in 2012. Forty-five percent of voters say the country would be better off if Romney was in Obama's place, while 38 percent say it would be worse.
