Same survey has Biden ranked higher than Reagan.

I guess if your political agenda included destroying America and transforming it into a communist totalitarian regime, you would rank Biden highly as well.

The only surprise in this poll is that Obama wasn’t ranked first.

I would rank Trump at around 25. Only because he was outmanuvered by Dr. Fauci during the coronavirus pandemic.

If it wasn't for that, I would put him at around 15.

This annual hackery is of the same stripe and worthlessness as the atomic scientists’ doomsday clock and, in the old days, Mr Blackwell’s Worst Dressed List. So it’s certainly to be expected that they’d list Trump last. However, if they had any interest in actually gaining credibility, they wouldn’t be telling us how fine the emperor’s clothes are by placing Biden at No.14

~~~

They don’t.

Remember that for activists, what you publish is about influence, not about truth.

They are fighting a losing battle, but they are going to fight it valiantly.
I’ve been seeing a transition happen in the last year. Independents and low information people actually dislike Biden now. This is a new phenomenon. It took a few years, but the media lost control of the narrative and Biden’s trips, slips, and blunders have made it past past the propaganda wall.

It’s just like when they publish polls. They are never meant to inform. They are meant to influence.

These articles are design the mitigate the negative perception problem that Biden has.

You can almost hear them right now in their meeting rooms at Newsweek or MSNBC. “Well, it’s presidents day, folks. How can we use this to help Biden?” “Oh I know, let’s rank all the Presidents and put Biden at the top”

Me, I would rank Donald Trump at the top for his policies and the fact that he stood and stands strong in the face of defiance. I mean, no one asked the guy to run for President. He could’ve taken that golden escalator down to the lobby of Trump Tower and announced he was retiring from show business and moving to Florida to enjoy his remaining years with his family, but he didn’t. Instead, he chose to make America great again (MAGA).

These “historians” must be smoking a lot of Hunter’s crack stash to come up with this nonsense.

They live in a drug induced alter universe where up is down.

No matter their credentials, they’re not historians.
To be one, you have to be unbiased.

It tells you nothing about who were/are the best Presidents and everything about who the so-called “historians” are - idiots.

Biden is actually the fifth greatest president.

Washington, Lincoln, Reagan and Trump are tied for #1
Thirty-nine presidents are tied for #2
Carter is #3
Obama is #4
Biden is #5

Aren’t historians generally the product of leftist universities?
