It’s official: Donald Trump will not go down in history as America’s best president – or the worst. According to the latest survey available from presidential historians, there are two presidents who performed worse during their tenure at the White House.
Who are they? And where would other recent presidents, like George W. Bush and Barack Obama, rank on that list? Here are the results of a comprehensive survey of historians, political scientists and presidential academics conducted by Siena College Research Institute. Since 1982, the US President’s SCRI Survey has been conducted during the second year of a new president’s first term, classifying presidents into 20 different categories, ranging from integrity to commitment.
