That listing looks just about right to me -- SO Sad for US
PS: I would have placed Washington as 2nd with FDR as 3rd
Search online, and you will find other "Greatest" lists that are much different. It all depends on the people involved in producing the list.

Very true. This one is made by political science professionals, not MAGA rally attendees.
I think you could make a reasonable argument as to Trump's placement on this list --
"IF" he/Trump loses in November then I think James Buchanan should based on the amount of real damage he did to the Country remain as our worst president -- On the other hand "if" Trump does win in November --
God Only Knows

Actually, a bunch of left wing academics. But Political Science professors would be accurate.
These days I think it would be real hard to gather that many right wing academics together.
I agree with most of the list except for LBJ, Obummer and Biden should be in the forties

True enough. But we all know that most political scientists have a left leaning bias. That's why Obama and Biden are so high on this list. It needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

Or... they are looking at the results of presidential actions in context with congressional opposition. Really; what did Biden or Obama do that was bad? The nice thing about scientific studies is they are less left or right bias and more from intellectuals who don’t attend rallies and believe Trump-speak propaganda. They also weigh a full accounting of a presidency, not just a flashpoint issue that the bias media is harping about. Even if they were slightly bias, Trumps numbers in this ranking are abysmal; so if the were off by a bit then his numbers would just be a bit less abysmal; still giving a really bad showing.

You think intellectuals aren't political?
Don't hang around with many, do you?
They can even make the assigning of campus parking spaces a political cat fight. If your politics are not the "right" kind, you park on the lot the most distant from your office/classroom(s) and probably in a slot hidden behind the trash dumpsters.
I had one of those rare and endangered conservative Political Science professors who gave up on driving to work because of where he got a parking permit for. Either his wife dropped him off or he got a ride with a student or friend. In a real emergency, he rode a bike several miles and stashed it in his office. Last choice was public buses.

Looks like they’re still idiots, though. As are those who actually believe such nonsense.

I'd prefer to listen to the most educated in any field rather than the least educated.

I would rather listen to the most wise in the field rather than the least wise. You could be highly educated, yet be so unwise.
Great. If you need open heart surgery, find a wise person instead of a doctor.
