Historians rank Trump as worst president
Presidential historians in a new survey rank President Biden as the 14th best president in U.S. history — and put former President Trump last.
The big picture: The tally came from 154 presidential specialists who are current and recent members of the American Political Science Association. They were asked to give every president a score, from 0 to 100.
Zoom in: Abraham Lincoln topped the list with an average score of 95, while Biden scored an average of 62.66. That put him two spots above Ronald Reagan.
- Representatives for Trump, who averaged just under 11 points, did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment.
Top 10:
- Lincoln.
- F.D. Roosevelt.
- Washington.
- T. Roosevelt.
- Jefferson.
- Truman.
- Obama.
- Eisenhower.
- L.B. Johnson.
- Kennedy.
