Trump ranked worst president in US history by nearly 200 political scientists

[trueblue2007]

Nearly 200 of America's top political scientists have voted Donald Trump the worst president in US history.

According to the 2018 Presidents & Executive Politics Presidential Greatness Survey, Trump ranks even lower than disgraced President Richard Nixon – even among conservatives. Abraham Lincoln, unsurprisingly, takes the top prize. Nixon sits at 33.

The study, conducted every 4 years, surveys social science researchers from the American Political Science Association’s section on presidents and executive politics. It asks the experts to rank each president’s greatness on a scale of 0 to 100, with 100 being great, 50 being average, and 0 being a total failure.

Trump averaged a score of 12.34, bumping James Buchanan – the president who saw the US descend into the Civil War – out of the bottom spot. The result comes just months after Trump finished his first year in office as the most unpopular president in modern history.

Mr Trump’s predecessor, Barack Obama, jumped 10 places since the survey was last conducted in 2014, to spot number eight. George W Bush also climbs in the rankings, making it five places up to number 30.

1. Harrison didn't do much, as he died early in his presidency

I'd say another awful president was Woodrow Wilson. But yeah, Trump is goddamn awful and deserves to be at the bottom.

2. Thats a no brainer ...

we don't need political scientists to tell us what we already know.

3. Harrison deserves a NA. He died a month into his term.

Replace him with Hoover, or Dubya.

4. Has...

Has Dear Leader been informed of such heresy?

This has to get out there so he is sure to see it often. Paging Bloomberg. Even a short mention will do

I agree with the results and I guess a negative number wouldn't have fit in that model.
