Overview

• The 2024 Presidential Greatness Project survey ranks Joe Biden as the 14th-best president, placing him in the top third of American presidents.
• Donald Trump maintains his position as the last-ranked president, trailing behind historically calamitous leaders such as James Buchanan and Andrew Johnson.
• Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and George Washington top the list of greatest presidents according to the survey.
• The survey reveals a pronounced partisan dynamic in the rankings, with recent Democratic presidents moving up and modern Republican presidents dropping.
• Experts argue that Biden's high placement suggests a powerful anti-Trump factor at work, despite his record not including traditional criteria for higher rankings.
