Presidents of the United States: The Ultimate Tier List
Forty-five men, one job, wildly different results. We're ranking every U.S. president from the guy who set the template to the ones who'd rather forget their four (or less) years in office.
This list leans on how historians and regular folks tend to argue about these guys online and in classrooms: wars won or bungled, economies saved or tanked, scandals, vetoes, and the occasional constitutional crisis. We weighted impact and competence over good intentions. Disagree with where we put your guy? That's half the fun. Argue with us.

SS Tier: The ones who defined the office
Abraham Lincoln
Held the country together through the Civil War, ended slavery with the Emancipation Proclamation and the 13th Amendment, and got assassinated for it days after the war ended. Nobody else on this list faced a harder job and did it better.

- Term
- 1861-1865

George Washington
Could have been king. Walked away after two terms instead and set the precedent that still shapes the office. The Farewell Address alone is worth studying, but the real genius was proving the whole experiment could survive a peaceful transfer of power.

- Term
- 1789-1797

- Term
- 1933-1945

Trust-busting, national parks, the Panama Canal, and a personality big enough to make the presidency feel like a national mood. He turned the office into something far more active and visible than it had been.

26th President of the United States, serving from 1901 to 1909. He became president after the assassination of William McKinley and was known for his progressive reforms, trust-busting, and conservation efforts. He was also a key figure in expanding the role of the United States on the world stage.

Thomas Jefferson
Wrote the Declaration of Independence and doubled the country's size with the Louisiana Purchase, even though it stretched his own strict reading of the Constitution. The slavery contradiction is real and worth sitting with, not ignoring.

Set four goals, hit all four, and left after one term like he promised. The Mexican-American War expanded the country enormously, though at real cost to Mexico and to the slavery debate he helped reignite.

Ronald Reagan
Reshaped American politics for a generation, oversaw the end of the Cold War's hottest phase, and made optimism a governing style. Iran-Contra is a real stain, and the trickle-down economics debate hasn't ended.

Presided over a booming economy and budget surpluses, then nearly torched it all with the Lewinsky scandal and impeachment. Welfare reform and NAFTA still split opinion down the middle.

John F. Kennedy
The Cuban Missile Crisis is a masterclass in not blowing up the planet. The assassination froze him in amber as a symbol, which makes it easy to forget how short and unfinished his actual term was.
About John F. Kennedy
35th President of the United States, serving from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. He led the nation through Cold War crises including the Cuban Missile Crisis and championed the early space program. He was the youngest person elected president and the first Roman Catholic to hold the office.

Woodrow Wilson
Led the U.S. through World War I and pushed the League of Nations, a noble idea Congress refused to buy. His record on civil rights and segregation in federal agencies is genuinely bad and deserves to be said plainly.
About Woodrow Wilson

Andrew Jackson
Expanded democracy for the common (white) man and crushed the national bank, but the Indian Removal Act and the Trail of Tears are an atrocity that can't be footnoted away. Fans and critics are sharply split on him, and for good reason.
About Andrew Jackson
Andrew Jackson was the 7th President of the United States, serving from 1829 to 1837. A populist and military hero of the War of 1812, his presidency is noted for the expansion of democracy for white men as well as the controversial Indian Removal Act.

John Quincy Adams
A frustrating single term hampered by the 'corrupt bargain' accusations that followed him in, but his post-presidency run in Congress fighting slavery is some of the most respectable second-act work on this list.
About John Quincy Adams
John Quincy Adams was the 6th President of the United States, serving from 1825 to 1829. The son of President John Adams, he had a long career in public service before and after his presidency, including serving in the House of Representatives afterward.

Grover Cleveland
The only president to serve two non-consecutive terms, which is a fun trivia answer and also a real sign of how unusual his career was. Honest to a fault, though his response to the Panic of 1893 left a lot to be desired.
About Grover Cleveland
22nd and 24th President of the United States, the only president to serve two non-consecutive terms. He was known for his honesty and conservative fiscal policies, and he opposed political corruption during the Gilded Age.

William McKinley
Won the Spanish-American War and turned the U.S. into an overseas colonial power almost overnight, which is a bigger deal historically than he usually gets credit for. Assassinated early in his second term, cutting the story short.

Gerald Ford
Walked into the Nixon wreckage and pardoned him, a call that cost Ford politically but probably helped the country move on faster. Never actually won a national election, which is its own strange footnote.

Martin Van Buren
Inherited Jackson's economic mess and got the Panic of 1837 for his trouble. A skilled political organizer who happened to be president at exactly the wrong moment.

Rutherford B. Hayes
Won the disputed election of 1876 through a backroom deal that ended Reconstruction, which is a heavy legacy for anyone to carry. One term, as promised, and mostly forgettable aside from that.
About Rutherford B. Hayes
19th President of the United States, serving from 1877 to 1881. His election followed one of the most disputed elections in American history, resolved by the Compromise of 1877. His presidency marked the end of Reconstruction.

About William Howard Taft

Chester A. Arthur
Nobody expected much from a guy who got the job after Garfield's assassination, and he quietly surprised everyone by pushing civil service reform. A genuinely underrated stretch that rarely gets its due.
About Chester A. Arthur
21st President of the United States, serving from 1881 to 1885. He assumed office after the assassination of James A. Garfield and surprised many by supporting civil service reform, including the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act.

Calvin Coolidge
'Silent Cal' mostly got out of the way and let the Roaring Twenties roar, which looked great until it didn't. His hands-off approach gets some blame for setting up the conditions for the Depression.
About Calvin Coolidge
30th President of the United States, serving from 1923 to 1929. He took office after the death of Warren G. Harding and presided over a period of economic prosperity known as the Roaring Twenties. He was known for his quiet, reserved manner, earning the nickname 'Silent Cal'.

Jimmy Carter
The Iran hostage crisis and gas lines defined a rough term, but the Camp David Accords were a real diplomatic win. His post-presidency work with Habitat for Humanity arguably outshines the presidency itself.

Zachary Taylor
A war hero elected on reputation with barely over a year in office before dying of illness. Too short a tenure to judge fairly, though what little record exists is unremarkable.

George W. Bush
September 11 reshaped his presidency and the country's security apparatus for good. The Iraq War, built on faulty WMD claims, remains the defining and most criticized decision of his two terms.

Donald Trump
Two impeachments, a trade war with China, and a presidency that ran on pure disruption. Supporters point to judicial appointments and deregulation; critics point to January 6 and the handling of COVID-19. Few presidents split opinion this hard, and we're putting that split on the record rather than pretending it isn't there.
About Donald Trump
45th President of the United States (2017-2021) and 47th President (since 2025), making him the second president to serve non-consecutive terms. A Republican and former businessman and television personality before entering politics.

Steered the country through the tail end of COVID-19 and passed major infrastructure legislation, but inflation and the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal weighed heavily on public opinion. Still too recent for the dust to have settled on his final ranking.

James A. Garfield
Garfield barely had time to govern before an assassin's bullet and botched medical care cut his presidency short at just 200 days. What little he did show, a commitment to civil service reform and anti corruption efforts, suggested real promise that never got the chance to play out. He lands in the middle tier on potential alone, an incomplete grade for an incomplete term.
About James A. Garfield
20th President of the United States, serving in 1881 until his assassination that same year. His presidency was cut short just months after taking office when he was shot by an assassin, dying later from his wounds.

Franklin Pierce
The Kansas-Nebraska Act he signed reopened the slavery fight and helped set the stage for civil war. Widely seen by historians as one of the weaker occupants of the office, and the record backs that up.

Herbert Hoover
The Great Depression hit on his watch and his response was too slow and too limited for the scale of the disaster. 'Hooverville' became slang for shantytown, which tells you how his name aged.
About Herbert Hoover
31st President of the United States, serving from 1929 to 1933. His presidency was dominated by the onset of the Great Depression following the 1929 stock market crash. Before politics he was known for humanitarian relief efforts after World War I.

William Henry Harrison
Gave the longest inaugural address in history in freezing weather, caught pneumonia, and died a month later. Barely a presidency at all, more a historical footnote about what not to do in a top hat.

The Teapot Dome scandal defined an administration riddled with corruption from his own appointees. Died in office before the worst of it fully came out, which is about the only lucky break of his presidency.
About Warren G. Harding
29th President of the United States, serving from 1921 until his death in office in 1923. His administration was later marked by revelations of corruption, including the Teapot Dome scandal. He campaigned on a promise of a 'return to normalcy' after World War I.

FF Tier: The historical bottom of the barrel
Andrew Johnson
Took over after Lincoln's assassination and spent his term actively undermining Reconstruction and protecting the interests of former Confederates. Impeached by the House, one vote short of removal by the Senate, and widely ranked among the worst for good reason.

James Buchanan
Watched the country split apart in the months before the Civil War and basically did nothing to stop it. Regularly ranked dead last or near it by historians, and it's hard to argue with the reasoning.

How we ranked them
We weighed crisis management, lasting impact on the country and the office itself, honesty in office, and whether they left America better or worse than they found it. Popularity at the time counts for less than what actually happened under their watch. Scandal, corruption, and sheer incompetence drag a ranking down fast, even if the guy was personally likable. Where historians and fans genuinely split, we picked a side and explained why.

Rank these yourselfFAQ
Who is usually ranked the best U.S. president?
Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and Franklin D. Roosevelt top most historian surveys and fan rankings, usually in some order of those three.
Who is usually ranked the worst U.S. president?
James Buchanan and Andrew Johnson routinely land at the bottom of historian rankings, mostly for failing to prevent or for actively undermining the resolution of the Civil War and Reconstruction.
Why is Andrew Jackson so controversial?
He expanded voting rights and democratized politics for white men, but he also pushed the Indian Removal Act, which led directly to the Trail of Tears. Historians and fans remain genuinely split on how to weigh those two legacies.
Is this ranking based on politics?
We tried to judge crisis management, lasting impact, and honesty in office rather than modern partisan lines, though reasonable people will still disagree on recent presidents especially.
Why do recent presidents rank lower than expected?
History needs distance. Presidents like Obama, Trump, and Biden are still being fought over in real time, so their rankings are more likely to shift in future decades than, say, Lincoln's.
