It depends upon the private conduct. Accepting political donations from Chinese agents or being a pedophile, definitely. Having a divorce in your personal history, no. Case in point: Reagan was a divorcee; Carter wasn't. Who was the better President?

I believe the term "personal life" may be too ambiguous. I agree with Sal that if it just refers to marital success, then it is not relevant.

But when I read "personal life", I look at it as moral fabric. I look at it as, "Do as I say, not as I do."

A leader who is spiritually bankrupt in their personal life will be a bankrupt and empty leader. A leader's strength comes from inside him/her. So, in my view, a leader's foundation is his/her morals, ethics and faith.
