In a 2024 Presidential Greatness Project Expert Survey, President Joe Biden was ranked the 14th best president while former president Donald Trump was last.
The ranking came from 154 historians and presidential experts. The survey was conducted from November 2023 to December 2023. Biden was in the top third along with Woodrow Wilson and Ronald Reagan. Trump was ranked at 45. Former President Barack Obama was ranked at seven.
The presidents’ successes and failures were taken into account when given ranks. Presidents were also given a rating from 0 to 100, 100 being the highest rating possible. Half of the presidents were given ratings of 50 or below. Trump was given a 10.92.
Presidential rankings have been called to be subjective. Experts have said it is difficult to maintain an objective perspective considering values have changed over the years. The survey’s main purpose is to provide an opportunity for experts and historians to compare different presidents in the context of history and state their opinions on current presidencies.
Trump has been assertively taking over the Republican party in recent weeks as he mounts his effort to regain the White House. He has endorsed his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, as the co-chair of the Republican National Committee. Trump’s only remaining opponent for the Republican nomination, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley, said she fears the former president will use the RNC as a “piggy bank” to fund his spiraling legal bills.
