Since that poll has been getting some attention recently...

The obvious answer is Reagan.

Even if that's your opinion, how the heck is it the "obvious" choice?

I don't usually take that into consideration, unless it seriously harms the nation. All administrations are corrupt.

Harding was the 2nd or 3rd most corrupt president in the history of the United States.

Tossup between the three movement conservative Presidents: Nixon, Reagan, and Bush the Younger. But literally every President since World War II has been on the whole terrible, which has less to do with the individuals in question and more to do with the fact that the country continues to slide to the right and dismantle the New Deal.

Nixon initiated the War on Drugs, imposed wage and price controls that created shortages, distorted health care markets by signing the HMO Act and creating a Federal CON licensing scheme that has prevented countless hospitals from coming into existence, and established one of the greatest counterfeiting scams in human history - the global fiat monetary regime. I'd say that's pretty bad.

Watergate doesn't even make the top ten list of the worst things about the Nixon presidency.

Nixon
Starting an illegal bombing campaign in Cambodia
Escalating the Vietnam war
Sabotaging peace talks to win an election
The War on Drugs
Supporting a coup in Chile to overthrow their democratically elected president, replacing him with a dictator
Vetoing the Clean Water Act

In 20 years from now, we'll probably hear Democrats gushing about how great we had it under Bush.

Made a career out of redbaiting and destroyed a sh**tload of people's lives in the process

Let's also not forget that Nixon vetoed a bill that would have established a national daycare program, on the grounds that it represented an attack on the family structure. What a great guy!
