A new study that grades presidents on their economic performance ranks Clinton and Reagan highest among recent presidents with a grade of B. That's compared to FDR who is top of the class with an A and G.W. Bush who barely passes with a D. This first-of-its-kind ranking of U.S. presidents from 1789 to 2009 is based on 220 years of data that was analyzed to estimate an economic GPA for each president.
