Trump’s first year was seen as a catastrophe by both Democrats and Republicans in the field of political science. Marked by a nonstop stream of scandals, as well as record-low approval ratings, it was so bad that a survey of scholars has already ranked Trump as the worst president ever. https://www.rawstory.com/2018/02/tru...resident-ever/
Interestingly, President Obama moved up 10 spots since 2014, from number 18 to number 8.
Great post - thanks so much. Trump supporters will ignore it, of course.
It's interesting that Obama's estimation has risen. It makes sense that we often re-evaluate our presidents as more becomes known about the difficulties they face. In Trump's case, I think there is little chance of his ranking improving much, because the problems with Trump are less about his presidential decisions being bad, and more about what a miserable human being he is inherently - ignorant, corrupt, money-grubbing, boastful, bigoted. People who expected him to change at his advanced age, to suddenly become civil or compassionate, were delusional.
I can't help but think that anyone who ranks Trump (or Obama for that matter) as below Andrew Johnson and James Buchanan are suffering from recency bias.
This poll makes sense though. Trump was sent as a middle finger to the elites in both parties. These are elites doing the rankings.

Look at the poll:
95 Democrats
47 Independents/3rd Party
21 Republicans
And at lest 5 of their prestigious voters didn't know Lincoln, Washington and Teddy was on Mount Rushmore. As 5 of their voters voted for those guys to be next on Mount Rushmore.

Sounds like Russia and the liberals are continuing to collude and push the propaganda.
