Roediger III and K. Andrew DeSoto published a study in the journal Science asking research subjects to name as many presidents as possible.[65][66] They reported data from three generations as well as from an online survey conducted in 2014. The percentage of participants in the online survey sample who could name each president was the following: Barack Obama (100%) Bill Clinton (96%) George W. Bush or George H. W. Bush (95%) George Washington (94%) Abraham Lincoln (88%) John F. Kennedy (83%) Richard Nixon (82%) Jimmy Carter (79%) Thomas Jefferson (72%) Ronald Reagan (66%) Gerald Ford (62%) Franklin D. Roosevelt or Theodore Roosevelt (60%) John Adams or John Quincy Adams (56%) Dwight D. Eisenhower (54%) Harry S. Truman (50%) Andrew Jackson (47%) Herbert Hoover (42%) Andrew Johnson or Lyndon B. Johnson (41%) William Howard Taft (39%) James Madison (38%) Ulysses S. Grant (38%) James Monroe (30%) Woodrow Wilson (29%) Calvin Coolidge (22%) James A. Garfield (19%) James K. Polk (17%) Warren G. Harding (16%) William McKinley (15%) John Tyler (12%) James Buchanan (12%) Grover Cleveland (11%) William Henry Harrison or Benjamin Harrison (11%) Martin Van Buren (11%) Rutherford B. Hayes (10%) Zachary Taylor (10%) Millard Fillmore (8%) Franklin Pierce (7%) Chester A. Arthur (7%) 2021 Putnam Survey In July 2021, a survey was taken on the memorability of U.S. presidents by name and facial recognition.[67] The rate of memorability for the name recognition survey was: Bill Clinton (98%) Barack Obama (98%) George W. Bush (96%) Abraham Lincoln (95%) Ronald Reagan (94%) George Washington (93%) Richard Nixon (92%) George H.W. Bush (90%) John F. Kennedy (88%) Jimmy Carter (83%) Lyndon B. Johnson (82%) Thomas Jefferson (77%) William Howard Taft (77%) Teddy Roosevelt (75%) Dwight D. Eisenhower (74%) Harry S. Truman (73%) Andrew Jackson (65%) Franklin D. Roosevelt (59%) James Madison (55%) Grover Cleveland (53%) Benjamin Harrison (53%) Martin Van Buren (52%) Gerald Ford (52%) James A. Garfield (50%) Woodrow Wilson (50%) William Henry Harrison (48%) John Quincy Adams (48%) Rutherford B. Hayes (47%) Herbert Hoover (46%) John Adams (44%) James K. Polk (43%) Franklin Pierce (42%) Chester A. Arthur (42%) Ulysses S. Grant (37%) John Tyler (36%) William McKinley (35%) Millard Fillmore (31%) Warren G. Harding (31%) Zachary Taylor (28%) James Monroe (26%) Andrew Johnson (24%) Calvin Coolidge (21%) James Buchanan (18%) Reception Gerard Baker, US editor for The Times, writes, "the 42 American presidents fall into a well-established, bell-curve or normal distribution on a chart – a handful of outstanding ones, a handful of duds, and a lot of so-sos. I couldn't, in all honesty therefore, really say that number 13 on the list is that much better than number 30."[68] Political scientist Walter Dean Burnham described "dichotomous or schizoid profiles" of presidents, making some hard to classify in his opinion. Historian Alan Brinkley said "there are presidents who could be considered both failures and great or near great (for example, Wilson, Johnson, Nixon)". Historian and political scientist James MacGregor Burns observed of Nixon: "How can one evaluate such an idiosyncratic president, so brilliant and so morally lacking?"[69] David Herbert Donald, noted biographer of Abraham Lincoln, relates that when he met John F. Kennedy in 1961, Kennedy voiced his deep dissatisfaction and resentment with historians who had rated some of his predecessors. Kennedy remarked, "No one has a right to grade a president—even poor James Buchanan—who has not sat in his chair, examined the mail and information that came across his desk, and learned why he made his decisions."[70] Historian and political scientist Julian E. Zelizer has argued that traditional presidential rankings explain little concerning actual presidential history and that they are "weak mechanisms for evaluating what has taken place in the White House."[71] The broadly static nature of the rankings over multiple decades has also been called into question[who?], particularly given the frequent exposure of previously unknown material about American government.[72][failed verification][citation needed] The first British survey, published in 2011, places some small government advocates higher than recent US surveys have: Thomas Jefferson at 4, Ronald Reagan at 8, and Andrew Jackson at 9 (compare 7, 10 and 13 in C-SPAN 2009).[21] Survey takers In 2002, Ron Walters, former director of the University of Maryland's African American Leadership Institute, stated that ranking based on the presidents' ability to balance the interests of the majority and those of excluded groups was practical in respect to American debate on racial politics. Presidents have traditionally been ranked on personal qualities and their leadership ability to solve problems that move the nation in a positive direction. Walters stated that there was a qualitative difference between presidential evaluations from white and African-American intellectuals. He gives as an example of this difference a comparison between two contemporary studies, a 1996 New York Times poll by Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., where 31 white historians and one black historian ranked presidents as "Great", "Near Great", "High Average", "Average", "Below Average", or "Failure", and a survey performed by professors Hanes Walton Jr. and Robert Smith and featured in their book American Politics and the African American Quest for Universal Freedom, where 44 African-American political scientists and historians ranked presidents as "White Supremacist", "Racist", "Racially Neutral", "Racially Ambivalent", or "Antiracist".[73] A 2012 analysis by Mark Zachary Taylor faulted presidential surveys with "partisan bias and subjective judgments", suggesting an algorithm to rank of the presidents based on objectively measurable economic statistics. His algorithm placed Franklin Roosevelt as the best president for the economy, followed by Harding, Hayes and McKinley tied for second. The worst-ranked presidents were Hoover and Van Buren, tied.[74] Alvin S. Felzenberg has criticized what he sees as a liberal bias in presidential rankings. In particular, he ranks Ronald Reagan in third place, substantially higher than averaged rankings. In reviewing his 2010 book, Michael Genovese says, "Felzenberg is upset—with some justification—at the liberal bias he sees as so prevalent in the ranking of U.S. presidents by historians and political scientists. To remedy this, he has provided a counter to the liberal bias with a conservative bias. In doing so, he commits all the sins of which he accuses liberals. This book is a mirror image of the work he finds so troubling....It is unscientific, impressionistic, and highly subjective."[75] See also 2.

It's impossible to understand what it feels like until you try. I'm really referring to weed and derivatives and not harder things, as they are dangerous in even small amounts. The ones selling the drugs are the rich ones, and they'll do anything to stay rich, which leads to violence. This is why weed should have been kept legal all along. As far as immigrants, you either work, are bringing money into the country you can support yourself with, or you don't come, as it isn't any country's responsibility to take care of anyone besides citizens or those who take care of themselves. I understand asylum seekers fleeing danger, but they can work also.

Eisenhower was a good president, and good things happened during his tenor, much brought about by help from others. Kennedy was rated higherfor much the same reasons, reasons which happen in every presidency. Others help them with ideas, they sign off if it's approved.

Being a leftist isn't necessarily a bad thing, nor is being on the right. The country's main problem is division, both thinking they're right when both do things wrong.

You're missing the point that unemployment isn't on the president first but the business owners, and a rising population finds it hard to find jobs when there aren't enough. The government can help both employees and employers so it's on them to negotiate with business owners to raise salaries. problem is, the rich owners are thinking of their salaries first. There are hundreds of factors that go into why inflation rises or falls, and the president is not at the top.................https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/111314/what-causes-inflation-and-does-anyone-gain-it.asp

People who buy things to expand their minds and escape from a screwed up world, at least for awhile, aren't stupid. Some of this is necessary to keep your sanity in a world run by morons. Overdoing it or doing certain drugs is always a stupid thing. Yes, we must first help our own citizens before helping others who are escaping poverty or danger in their countries. Firing people to cut back on some things is letting people, Americans, go from earning a living. This is being done by billionaires who care only about power and staying rich. A very dangerous , for them, thing to do, as taking a person's way of living away is a one way ticket to meeting God. Yes, there are jobs many Americans don't want to do, and immigrants will, but it isn't the immigrants to blame but the Americans who are hiring them illegally.

No, you assume. I'm not political. I've seen lies and empty promises since Nixon, with Kennedy being a decent president before him. Going by opinions means nothing. Seeing the results of their tenors means more, although again, they are still picking up the pieces from earlier mistakes.

Borders have always been and will always be open. Biden wanted families to be together, as some were in the US legally. People were deported daily when he was president. No difference in any presidents for the last 30 years. Wars wil always happen and the US will probably get involved for the reasons stated earlier.

The US helped Ukraine during Biden's term. Biden didn't start it but Putin did. Trump is going towards Russia and his talk with Zelenskky was negative because Trump doesn't want Russia against us, which isn't a bad idea but Putin being a psychopath and dealing with him isn't a good idea either. We are allies with Israel so helping them is what comes with that. We didn't start their war either.

Who considers Wiki unreliable? You? It's where most go for reliable facts on data collected.Where else does one go for factual information? Much out there is opinions and not from surveys.

What wars didn't Biden stop? What wars did he start? Just because a war isn't happening during a presidents term doesn't mean anything. The US gets involved because the US is all countries in one place, and supporting other countries that are being taken advantage of is a duty to us.

No, its facts garnered from unbiased research.

Trump did nothing as far as lowering border crossings. His wall is useless and people have been steadily coming in ever since I was in grade school. There isn't a definite rate of amount of people who cross, but they come daily, and will continue to do so and a president cannot change things. Unemployment has stayed pretty much the same for years, with the exception being during Covid. Wars start and stop and a president has nothing to do with them. Other countries have started them and us deciding to enter it is where they get their say. Your hero worship blinds you to the truth that's actually happening. Dismissing facts shows that.

Wiki is accurate. Doesn't go by opinions as others do.

Unemployment stayed much the same with him and Biden. Remember the next president down the line always has to pick up the pieces of the mistakes made before Here is the ratings...........https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_rankings_of_presidents_of_the_United_States.

Trump is actually one of the worst we've ever had. His tenor now will either put him at the very bottom, or if he does the right things, might put him in the top 20. Carter was better, as was Reagan and Clinton. Other presidents all did some good and some bad, and population increasing every year makes it harder to keep up with poverty levels, which should be the presidents first act and not worrying about military strength, which we have enough of, and helping other countries before our own.

People voted for him because we only had two choices, and again, Kamala was unproven and was on a weak side with a few bad ideas.

They are smart but intelligence isn't the only prerequisite for making millions. Having a start with a few million always helps. Many millionaires make money with other's help, and many make millions raping the earth's resources or taking advantage of other's weaknesses.

They voted for someone many didn't really want but since he was already in office and did some things alright, it was the better of two bad choices as Biden's side was weak and people expected more from them than they did. Lesser of two evils.

Some people look up to those who are rich or in power, not realizing how many got there. Others stand back and see them for what they really are, and hope their actions don't hurt society as many leaders have done in history.

Double post

That is most of the people on AN, which matters not at all.

Trump is the president so he's known worldwide, but there are thousands of billionaires many will never hear of. And Warren Buffet is known worldwide, but again, many millions will never know the names of any other billionaires as many millions don't even have a TV.

Clean? have you ever read the news and see what's gone on in their lives?
