In honor of this Presidents Day Weekend, I wanted to share this list of the Top Ten U.S. Presidents of all time as ranked by political science scholars.
- Abraham Lincoln
- Franklin D. Roosevelt
- George Washington
- Thomas Jefferson
- Theodore Roosevelt
- Woodrow Wilson
- Harry S. Truman
- Andrew Jackson
- Dwight D. Eisenhower
- James K. Polk
As for the U.S. Presidents who were in office since I was born, here are their rankings:
15. Ronald Reagan
21. Bill Clinton
22. George W. Bush
25. George H. W. Bush
27. (tie) Jimmy Carter
27. (tie) Gerald Ford
32. Richard Nixon
In terms of the “Worst President in U.S. History,” the current one seems to top that list according to Rolling Stone, the Washington Post, among others, including Dawn (Pakistan’s English-speaking newspaper).
Whoever ends up replacing GWB come November, I wonder how he or she will rank when all is said and done.
