Since Bidens presidency is almost over how well will his presidency be remebered

@22Michelle who did they survey? In an institution for mentally handicapped

@Patriot96 Siena College Research Institute. They've been assessing and ranking Presidents since 1982. They have Reagan at 18 for example.

@22Michelle Critics argue that such rankings are subjective and lack a definitive scientific basis. This subjectivity arises because different surveys prioritize different presidential qualities, leading to varied rankings across studies.

"The Siena survey asked experts to rate each president on twenty attributes, including background, party leadership, communication ability, court appointments, domestic accomplishments, and foreign policy accomplishments on a scale ranging from “outstanding” to “poor.” Respondents did not have to rate every president for every category.

Some attributes are maddeningly vague. Take “luck,” for example. Does having good luck make someone a good president? Or does having too much good luck mean he didn’t really show leadership?

A pandemic striking during your term is as unlucky as it gets, yet Donald Trump was rated the sixteenth-luckiest president, and Woodrow Wilson, who presided during the 1918 Spanish flu, was named fifteenth-luckiest. Surely, it’s the way a president responds to events outside of his control that matters, not how he’s treated by fickle fortune."

@ABCDEF7 I would agree, but I'd also say that ranking on an annual basis does allow for adjustments for those over or underrated due to the "celebrity" of a recent President. Do I think that the ratings mean Biden for example is really the 19th best? No, but it indicates he wasn't anywhere near the worst as some were commenting. He may slip down, or climb a few notches in the years to come, but I doubt he'll be in the bottom ten or the top ten.
