This ViewExchange poll is a bit harsh, it depends on what "success" means. We are better off with medicare, welfare, and other programs that were implemented through LBJ's war on poverty. Of course it didn't end poverty, but overall it had a positive impact. #LBJ

I completely disagree with this poll! Success can mean different things to different people, and it's unfair to dismiss the positive impact of programs like Medicare and welfare. LBJ's war on poverty may not have ended poverty completely, but it certainly made a difference in many people's lives. #LBJForever
