Wikipedia is often considered unreliable because it is a user-generated source that can be edited by anyone at any time, which means that the information it contains at a particular time could be vandalism, a work in progress, or simply incorrect.37 Since the vast majority of editors are anonymous, you have only their editing history and their user pages as benchmarks, and Wikipedia makes no representation as to their truth.3

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.

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.

Which shows Biden and Trump with the best figures. Biden had 5% inflation, open borders and did nothing to stop the wars.

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.

We are literally getting killed by drugs and illegal migrants.

No mention of that Right,Mr.Buffet.

but the problem as I personally is that drugs are bought by stupid (in my opinion) users and illegal immigrants continue to be wooed, coddled, housed, school'd once they get in and this by the democrat cities that often take tax monies away for citizens' programs including schools to provide for those immigrants.   I realize that the US has needed and continues to need legal immigrants for many jobs.  But unless those immigrants become productive citizens then they need to return to their original countries.

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.

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.

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

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.

do not agree on your take for illegal drugs - if it was only a minor escape from reality but didn't affect one's life and others that might be okay though I still don'tg understand the "thrillS" as I have never indulged and will not during my life.  In many cases they aren't even working, just milking the cow free.   Some resort to crimes too.  I see that many countries in Europe facing the same problems.  Meanwhile we continue pumping monies into those S&%thole countries from which many are fleeing to Europe or the US.  But 60K CHinese males of military should not have been allowed to mingle into the US with the other crowds.  Scary situation.

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.

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]
