U. S. Presidents - Ranked by the Miller Center at the University of Virginia
and reported by CBS News
As of April 22, 2021, the following are the presidents ranked best to worst. And, it's official: Donald Trump is not going down in history as America's best president - or the worst. According to the very latest available survey of presidential historians, there are two presidents who delivered worse performance during their tenure in the White House. Donald Trump has the dubious honor of being the only president to be impeached twice. In the survey, he received the lowest rank - 44th out of 44 - in the categories of integrity, intelligence, and overall ability.

You may agree or you may disagree. Presidential historians, however, have given us their rankings. They study each president's term of office with great detail. I don't know who we could better look to if not for these folks.
Of course, biased politics could be at play for some of you. . .
