Ronald Reagan and US Public Opinion


Rasmussen Reports: Reports that 40% of Americans see President Ronald Reagan as the most influential President in 50 years. This shows the wise judgement of Americans, after the disaster that was the Carter Presidency the US needed Reagan, he cut taxes, he cut welfare, he raised defence spending, he bought the US out of the shadow that was Vietnam. The greatest success for Reagan it can be argued on the domestic front was to allow Americans to believe in the US again, it was that Shining City on a Hill, all things were possible. On the International Stage Reagan closed down the Cold War, the US won and the USSR ended up in the bin. All Presidents want to be Reagan, even Obama has tried, but there will always be only one Reagan, the Gipper did good.
