    Did I miss any viable candidates?

    "Best" is entirely subjective here.

    I don't think Abe as Vampire Hunter is fictional. Just my opinion

    6 votes for 6 different options. This is either a good poll or a terrible one. :monkey:

    No love for Donald Pleasence as the President in Escape from New York?

    Snake Pliskenn would not approve of this poll.

    Bartlett has the biggest body of work....both positive and negative. Shepard is kind of the movie version of Bartlett, but fewer thorns. The action hero presidents are lacking in defined policy. Kind of a cameo, but I liked the Pres in the second National Treasure movie. As a successor to Bartlett, Matt Santos seemed promising as well

    Sheppard (Am President) over Evans (Contender) in my opinion are the best characters.

    Morgan Freeman best presence.

    Historic performance but not a fictional president like the others.
