How do Americans see Richard Nixon?

We've had an impeached president here in Brazil for corruption but he's now a senator, even though most of the public opinion goes against him... Unfortunately, a big part of Brazilian politicians is extremely corrupt.

Anyway, it's pretty clear to me that Americans have huge respect for its former presidents and I really admire that, but what about Richard Nixon? Is he hated? Or is he respected despite of what happened to him? Thanks!

That really depends on the political leanings of the American in question, it's a big and polarized nation.  

That said, most people who remember him would tell you he did some pretty alright stuff.  He was right-wing at the time, but would be closer to centrist these days.  What he did that got him impeached (Watergate and the cover-up that proceeded) is universally pretty hated on the hand.

So we look back on him as a snake-like asshole who was pretty OK at his job.  There's no chance in hell he would have ever held elected office ever again, he doesn't even really get to do speaking engagements.
