Our education system has failed every single one of those kids. Sad.

New poll suggests that college students are morons.

Brainwashed to think global issues are the only things that matter. Are we like and respected by the world? Yes=Great President. Very sad.

Reality is, if other counties love you it's because you're a push over.

When your only metric is "how much free shite did he give me?" I cant say I'm surprised.

Breaking news. Young adults choose the president that was president for most of the life they remember as greatest president in history.

Obama was just the first half white president of the USA and that’s his only claim to fame.

That is a huge indictment of our young generation and education system.

The ignorance is very dangerous for the country.

I forget what it is, but there's a name for this type of bias. Most people will always be biased (positively or negatively) towards what they know, because they have no other experiences to compare against.

All these colleges students know is GWB, Obama, and Trump.

So I'm not surprised by the results of this poll.

I would expect that from 3rd graders. But when I was applying to college I had already read biographies of at least 15 American presidents.

People over the age of 22 were polled on the opinion that "Obama was the greatest president in US history."

LOL - 40%

College kids are idiots - 30%

We're doomed - 29%

They're correct! - 1%

I have said this repeatedly. The divisions currently in this country are directly attributable to Obama and his legacy.

Are you thinking of "Recency Bias"?

quote:

A common distorting effect within systems of performance appraisal. It refers to the appraiser assessing employee performance, not on work undertaken across the full performance management cycle, but only on recent events or activities that can be readily recalled.

I agree, that seems to often bias people into believing that the most recent president who shares similar views as an observer will get rated higher than a previous president who may have also shared political views, and could've even been a better president.

IMO, anyone thinking Trump is a better president than Reagan, for example, is suffering from "Recency Bias".

Trump is the greatest President because for a large group of poor young white people he is their first white President.
