[Maxwell]

Jimmy Carter was not a worse President than freaking Herbert Hoover.

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

Happy John Tyler made it to 21th.
But overall, negative. Why bother ranking William Henry Harrison anyway?

[Roemerista]

HW Bush was one of the greatest modern Presidents.

[SWE]

Terrible.

I disagree with about 3/5 of the rankings, so negative.

What's so bad about that? Buchanan was certainly bad, but that doesn't necessarily make him the worst President in US history.

These were my thoughts. Buchanan is underrated not by virtue of any accomplishment of his own but merely because so many of his colleagues set the bar so low.

Well, the thing is that you have so many of the bottom of the barrel Presidents as "underrated" that is seems like you wouldn't have a worst President. So who is the worst one in your eyes?

Probably states rights-crushing tyrant Lincoln or commie FDR. Libertarian logic, you see.

[dead0man]

Weird that people have a problem with a long list of things, that doesn't tend to happen.

[politicallefty]

FDR should be ranked first. Those in the top 10 are all acceptable, though I'd move some of them around. I'd also move some others around, but it's not that bad of a list overall.

How on Earth is FDR a better President than Lincoln?  That's just absurd.

Do you seriously believe James "Let the Civil War happen for sh**ts and giggles" Buchanan, Andrew "ed up Reconstruction" Johnson, and Franklin "Literally supported the Confederacy" Pierce are not bottom-5 material? If so, who is and why are they worse than those three?

If one were to rank them based on fidelity to the Constitutionally-dictated role rather than based on retrospective apologism for dictatorial assumption of powers for the executive branch, then I would consider most of the 'great' presidents to be of inferior caliber. If one is to dock points from Pierce and Buchanan for supporting slavery, then one should also consider all presidents prior to Johnson in that same category, especially Monroe, Polk, and Fillmore. Similarly, are you going to dock points from all presidents between Hayes and Kennedy for not implementing the equivalent of Radical Reconstruction on Southern states (which was little more than using freed blacks as political pawns for military dictatorship on behalf of carpetbaggers)?

In any event, is there some inherent reason why Woodrow "jailed political opponents and ed up European and Middle Eastern politics for the next several decades" Wilson, Franklin "threatened the Court to approve my factions and locked up the Japanese population" Roosevelt and Abraham "jailed critics without trial" Lincoln are superior?
