Feb. 19 (UPI) -- A new survey of historians ranks Donald Trump the worst president in U.S. history.

Trump has touted his poll numbers against President Joe Biden ahead of a potential rematch in November. However, the 2024 Presidential Greatness Project Expert Survey, conducted by Qualtrics, has Biden significantly ahead of the former president.

The survey was conducted online among more than 500 members of the American Political Science Association, an organization of professionals in the field. Respondents rated Biden at 62.66 on a scale of 100 for overall greatness, good for 14th out of 45 presidents.

Abraham Lincoln scored the highest rating at 93.87, followed by Franklin Delano Roosevelt at 90.83 and George Washington at 90.32

Lincoln was hated in his day by the northern elites (and of course democrats) as much as Trump is now. Time will show the truth.

What it really shows is “historians” have no professional integrity whatsoever. By any measure the country was significantly better off than most Presidents despite the ruling class trying to block his every move on a daily basis.

“Historians rank Trump worst president in history”

I didn’t know the Biden administration hired historians.

Guess you’re falling for the left’s tricks.

I'm obviously not. I knew Lincoln was a tyrant from extensive reading of primary sources at the time. I knew and appreciate how good Trump was by being alive both before and after.

Gomer Pyle would clearly be better than a number of presidents. In my personal order of presidents, I order them as follows:

1 - Washington
2 - Grant
3 - Trump
4 - Lincoln
5 - ADAMS
6 - Jefferson

It’s BLM month. No one is allowed to be objective and grading is on the DEI curve.

Even the one from Full Metal Jacket.

And how many were killed at Fort Sumter?

Something about appropiate responses come to mind.

Since when are members of the American Political Science Association “historians”?

(Hint: Never)

Political scientists are hardly historians.

A tyrant subverts the Constitution, like we saw from Bush I onwards with Trump as the lone exception. Like it or not, Lincoln followed it.

I guess you are falling for the left’s tricks. One of the goals of polling APSA members was to polarize the public, specifically with false dilemmas like their “results” show.

Who in the world are these Republicans and conservatives giving Biden a higher rating than Trump? Maybe they’re all Mitt Romney and Nikki Hailery supporters?

Exactly. And they always dictate what a “conservative” is, you know.

Lincoln followed the constitution when he deliberately started a war without the consent of Congress? He followed the constitution when he unilaterally suspended habeas corpus even though the courts were working, and jailed between 13,000 and 38,000 people without charge or conviction - or at best "trial" before military tribunals? Lincoln followed the constitution when he shut down over 100 opposition newspapers and censored all telegraph traffic in the US?

You're falling for the Left's tactics if you think trampling on the bill of rights like the above and several more examples makes the tyrant Lincoln "great".

Thank you so much, afchief!!!

I guess Hystorians (stet) must admire and relish death and destruction over peace and prosperity as their criteria.
