Thread: C-Span's Presidential Rank

    Politics C-Span's Presidential Rank

    In honor of President's Day C-Span Ranked the presidents.

    Some of the list is okay, but I think they rank some presidents too high like Kennedy, Reagan, and Truman none of them belong that high.

    If I had to rank the top 10 and bottom 10 I would do it this way (I think you have to exclude William Henry Harrison and Garfield neither was president for more than 3 months.)
    1 Lincoln
    2 Jefferson
    3 FDR
    4 Theodore Roosevelt
    5 Washington
    6 James Madison
    7 Harry Truman
    8 James Polk
    9 Woodrow Wilson
    10 John Adams
    Bottom 5
    40 Harding
    39 Buchanan
    38 Grant
    37 Pierce
    36 Filmore

    I just changed my mind with Jackson, Wilson was just below Adams for me so he is a good replacement.

    Jackson was a terrible president. Why is he that high? Nixon did some good things for this country but he also set some of the worst precedents. Are these people high?

    Heh this is my list. With Jackson, honestly I really dislike him because of the Trail of Tears, but if you look back at his administration you can see he accomplished a lot under his presidency. I could easily change him or Polk on that list for Wilson or Eisenhower, I am actually tempted to change Jackson because I hate him.
