Scholars Poll Ranks Donald Trump As "Worst President Of All-Time" (Even GOPers Rate Him 40 of 45)

.

The survey was conducted among 170 current and recent members of the Presidents & Executive Politics Section of the American Political Science Association. The group is comprised of scholars dedicated to studying the American presidency.

Each member was asked to rank the current and past presidents from zero (worst) to 100 (best). The ranking is based on overall performance in office. President Trump scored a mind-boggling 12.34 out of 100.

When only Republican respondents were polled, Trump still ranked 40th worst out of 45 Presidents. Trump managed to beat James Buchanan among Republican pollsters. Buchanan oversaw the succession of seven states before the Civil War.

When Democrat and Republican results were combined, President Abraham Lincoln topped the list with a score of 95.03. The top seven Presidents of all time were Lincoln, George Washington, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt, Thomas Jefferson, Harry Truman, and Dwight D. Eisenhower. Those same Presidents topped the list in the same order when the poll was last conducted in 2014.

PS. Obama came in 8th. Suck it Trump!


This is a shock, being that all GOPers supposedly rate Trump with 90% approval ratings.

Where is their disconnect, where they solidly support him, but that he is one of the suckiest presidents?

I doubt many if any of them, even if Republican, solidly support him. Just because a bunch of other Republicans do, it doesn't mean that this handful does.
