from the Pew Research Center shows that the incumbent president is currently trailing behind his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, with only months to go before the November election. According to the poll, 54% of registered voters say they'd support Biden or "lean toward voting for him" if the election were held right now — 44% of those surveyed say the same for President Trump.
The 2017 C-SPAN survey measured 10 qualities of presidential leadership: public persuasion, crisis leadership, economic management, moral authority, international relations, administrative skills, relations with Congress, vision, pursued equal justice for all, and performance within the context of his times.Scores in each category were then averaged, and the 10 categories were given equal weighting in determining the presidents' total scores.
George Washington came in at No. 2, followed by Franklin D. Roosevelt at No. 3. George H. W. Bush ranked at No. 20, beating out his son George W. Bush who came in at No. 33. Other notable commanders in chief included John F. Kennedy at No. 8, Ronald Reagan at No. 9, and Barack Obama at No. 12. While some historians weren't shocked that Obama didn't rank higher overall on the list — "That Obama came in at No. 12 his first time out is quite impressive," Douglas Brinkley of Rice University said — others were surprised by his lower-than-expected leadership rankings, including No. 7 in moral authority and No. 8 in economic management.
"But, of course, historians prefer to view the past from a distance, and only time will reveal his legacy," said Edna Greene Medford of Howard University.Rachel Gillett contributed to a previous version of this story.Gerald R. Ford with his wife, Betty.
Kennedy ranked at 8 and rightfully so. Could even be higher. Amazing considering he wasn’t able to serve even one full term.
good
You won’t find Trump in a list of the top 44 US Presidents, to be fair.
Part of the reason being that he's still president But mostly cause to not stir up a political storm lol
White ppl made this list lemme guess? Cuz it ain’t 25 presidents that worth being on a “top” list to black ppl. Maybe 3
If Reagan is the poster, the list is trash
Hogwash! What's Reagan doing in there? He presided over the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans from a virus without ever mentioning its name. He was a warm-up for Trump. This is a rightwing wishlist, not a news article.
I am pretty certain who shall rank the 45th on that list... TRE45ON!
I am pretty certain who shall rank the 45th on that list.
Reagan is SO overrated.
Of course not. His first term isn’t over and more importantly, he really sucks at his job. You know it’s bad when his supporters over exaggerate how amazing it is when he finally does something decent....like wear a mask...
this list is trash
LBJ got us into Vietnam & Reagan traded guns for crack & blamed black people for it. This list is garbage.
