New presidential rankings place Obama in top 10, Reagan and Trump below Biden

View attachment 905043

A new poll of experts on the American presidency reveals several intriguing new findings, including a shakeup among the top-ranked presidents and an early assessment of where President Joe Biden stands.

This is the third survey conducted by co-directors of the Presidential Greatness Project, University of Houston political science professor Brandon Rottinghaus and Coastal Carolina University political science professor Justin Vaughn. Results are based on nearly 200 responses from scholars across multiple disciplines whose work engages presidential politics.

The survey shows that while presidential scholars continue to consider Abraham Lincoln the nation’s greatest president, Franklin Delano Roosevelt has passed George Washington as the second-greatest president. President Biden enters the rankings at #14, behind recent Democrats Barack Obama (#7) and Bill Clinton (#12), but ahead of recent Republicans Ronald Reagan (#16), George H.W. Bush (#19), George W. Bush (#32) and Donald Trump (#45).

“As presidential scholars reassess the impact of the modern presidency from administrative and cultural standpoints, we see significant shifts over time in what constitutes presidential greatness,” Rottinghaus said.

Previous surveys were released in 2015 and 2018.

“In the first post-Trump survey, we see a significant bump for recent Democratic presidents with each one moving up in the rankings while each of the recent Republican presidents dropped down, with the exception of President Trump who remained at the bottom of the rankings,” Vaughn said.

About the Survey:​

525 scholars representing a wide range of academic disciplines were invited to complete the online survey, and 191 surveys were completed between Nov. 15 – Dec. 31, 2023 for a 36% response rate.

Not surprising! I expect Trump's ranking will remain at the bottom! What do you think?
Trump still the worst in History, eh? Not surprising.

It's his own damn fault

He started no wars and even had the gall to broker a peace deal with Israel and her Arab neighbors. I mean, how can the industrial war complex make a profit with all that? They have a family to feed after all.

And don't get me started about the economy with all that horrible inflation and high gas prices while he was President.

I guess the best part were his Tweets but is that really a good reason to vote for him?

Had I made things up, there is no way I could be right. And for that reason you are wrong.

LOLOL

Declaring yourself when encyclopedias and dictionaries prove you wrong just makes you appear deranged.

Shit, the Earth is flat when you're your own source. That's like arguing the world is flat, and in the face of reality showing the world really is spherical, declaring if I made up the world was flat, there is no way I could be right. And for that reason, the world is flat.

You made things up.

Now you're lying. The final fight of a losing argument. Unlike you, I didn't make anything up. I sourced the Encyclopedia Britannica and Merriam Webster dictionary to back my position and show you're out of your freakin' mind.

FACTS are not found in your arguments. Citing an English book does you no good.
 
Posting this 'ranking' is an embarrassment to brain cells. Libs using fox news like they are the contrary to liberals and all of a sudden found this ranking and agree with it is an even bigger embarrassment to brain cells.
