Well C-SPAN’s annual rankings of Presidents is out. They seem pretty solid. I’d have Obama ahead of Reagan but below JFK but it’s in the ballpark. Maybe Jefferson gets a boost from pre Presidency accomplishments.
Top 10
1. Lincoln
2. Washington
3. FDR
4. Teddy Roosevelt
5. Ike
6. Truman
7. Jefferson
8. Kennedy
9. Reagan
10. Obama
Bottom 5
40. Harrison
41. Trump
42. Pierce
43. A. Johnson
44. Buchanan
(It’s 44 because Cleveland is twice, but ranked once together)
