How Trump's Ranking of Best Presidents Compares to America's
President Donald Trump's ranking of presidents diverges from the American public's opinion on the subject.
A recent poll by YouGov reveals the contrasting views of President Donald Trump's ranking of American presidents compared to the general public's perception. In August, Trump posted his own ranking on Truth Social, placing himself in a category labeled "The greatest," above Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, and Franklin D. Roosevelt, whom he also deemed great.
However, the public's opinion diverges significantly. YouGov's poll categorized Trump as the most negatively rated president, with 48% of respondents labeling him a failure, 10% below average, and 8% as average. Only 20% deemed Trump great, along with 10% who considered him near great. In contrast, Lincoln, Washington, and FDR were recognized as "consensus greats" by 57%, 52%, and 34% of respondents, respectively.
