Seven out of the fourteen United States presidents since 1928 have been either left-handed or ambidextrous; it is difficult or impossible to say how many were before that time because left-handedness was still looked down upon as a disability so any presidents who were left-handed would have presumably made every attempt to hide it. Since (and including) president [[Gerald Ford]], only two presidents have been purely right-handed: [[Jimmy Carter]] and [[George W. Bush]]; Gerald Ford himself as well as [[George H.W. Bush]], [[Bill Clinton]], and [[Barack Obama]] are all left-handed and [[Ronald Reagan]] was ambidextrous (and could have been left-hand dominant, but this is debated).<ref>http://abcnews.go.com/politics/story?id=4326568</ref> [[Herbert Hoover]] was the first president to be described as left-handed, and [[Harry S. Truman]] was ambidextrous but preferred his left hand. The tradition of left-handed presidents even extends to the elections themselves: in 1992, all three major candidates (George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and [[Ross Perot]]) were left-handed; in 1996, Clinton, Perot, and [[Bob Dole]] were all left-handed; and in 2008, both major-party candidates (Obama and [[John McCain]]) were left-handed.

This trend is not replicated in other countries. Only two post-war [[British]] prime ministers, [[Winston Churchill]] and [[James Callaghan]], were left handed (although it has been documented that some British schools were discouraging left-handedness as recently as the 1990s), and [[Canada]] has not had a left-handed prime minister since 1980.
