I tend to think FDR is slightly overrated in history, but...
I'm not sure how I feel about changing currency; Reagan's presidency was certainly significant, but time will tell whether currency should be changed.
I think the C-Span ratings were actually pretty solid; Coolidge and Nixon were better presidents than given credit for in the poll (although Watergate does diminish Nixon significantly), and I think Clinton was ranked too highly, but the rankings overall were pretty solid.
It's going to take time of course to really look back on recent Presidents, until more of their documents are released, but Reagan will always have a place in history (if for nothing else than the Cold War).
