C-SPAN asked 65 historians to rank our presidents from best to worst. Abe Lincoln came out on top. James Buchanan came in last. George W. Bush came in at number 36 out of 42.In the best category, Lincoln was followed by George Washington, FDR, Theodore Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, John F. Kennedy and Thomas Jefferson.
In the worst category, it's James Buchanan followed by Andrew Johnson, Franklin D. Pierce, William Henry Harrison, Warren G. Harding and Millard Fillmore.
Here are some more details about why they were ranked in this order. Is it unfair to judge President Bush so early? Have we really had enough time to understand his presidency?
