POTUS 45: Among Past Presidents, Trump Ranks Bottom of the Barrel
Presidential Rankings Survey - Historians Rank the Top 10 Presidents / C-SPAN Survey on Presidents 2021
I took ex-president Trump’s ranking from the table of all presidents to make it easier to read. Biden’s term won’t be assessed until after his term ends. Interesting to note of Trump’s best ranking in the categories of public persuasion (32), economic management (34), and viosion/setting an agenda (36), Trump is still in the bottom third.
