On the survey's 0-100 scale of "overall greatness," a rating of 50 means a president was average, while zero means a president is considered a failure. Only the top three presidents — Abraham Lincoln at No. 1, followed by Franklin D. Roosevelt and then George Washington — scored above 90. The drop-off was sharp from there, with no one else above an 80 rating. Roughly half the presidents were rated below 50.

Trump is LAST/WORST again....I can't believe people are contemplating voting him in again...
Obama moved up  lots of places since the last survey.

My favorite thing about this poll is that Trump is below even the dude who died after month in office because he got sick on Inauguration Day and never recovered.

How is Jackson above Carter?

This is what I was just coming to say. Both Garfield (6 months in office) and Harrison (1 month in office) are considered better than several presidents. Although, they should have identified which Harrison was which.

He is trending down....may he keep going.

I think at the time people praised Jackson. Carter was entirely underrated. That's just a wild guess.

My dad just told me he was a trumper. Republican didn't shock me, but pro-Trump did. And I admittedly lost it on him until he hung up on me. He's my only family member I have contact with, so I'm struggling with this.

You're throwing support behind a criminal. Great. Maybe this chart will change your mind? Not likely.

Garfield is truly one of the great missed opportunities for this country. He had the potential to be a great president in a time of US history not known for great presidents.


Oh and yes, we live in a dystopian nightmare, which I realize was the real point of this post.  Sorry.

It's crazy to me that we have lived through some of the top tier (Obama, Clinton, Biden- hell even GHWBush and Reagan made the top 50%) and then there's trump....

Don't put bush in top tier. I have to many friends dead because of him. Too many marriages broken including my own. He is awful. Not as bad à trump, but he's terrible and has destroyed so many lives. And add to that a horrible supreme court decision. He is terrible
