Q: Which president has had the most impact on the most Americans? lives right now? A: Deciding which president has had the greatest influence on our current lives is subjective and a different calculation for anyone, says Kenneth R. Mayer, professor of political science at UW-Madison and an expert on the U.S. presidency. One could even make a case that any of our nation?s 44 presidents, with a few exceptions made for those who are regarded as failures, is the most influential.
