I don't know which former Pres is winning the worst-of-all-time contest, but some candidates are still in the running.

I'd probably vote Herbert Hoover, similar to Jimmy Carter in many ways

President Hoover was an ideologue. He was a morally upright person. But he was incompetent. He was unable to look squarely at reality. When the economy collapsed, President Hoover assured the people that everything would be all right. He said there had been little reform in government prior to his inauguration. He said that the final victory over poverty was at hand. Self-importance and incompetence - that was the combination that led to Mr. Hoover's being remembered as one of the three worst presidents in U.S. history.
