For those too lazy to look each day at the Times’ rankings of US presidents (and for me who can’t think of anything else to write about) I present numbers 32 to 22:
32. Jimmy Carter 1977-81 (Democratic)
31. John Tyler 1841-45 (Whig)
29= William H. Taft 1909-13 (Republican)
29= Benjamin Harrison 1889-93 (Republican)
28. Zachary Taylor 1849-50 (Whig)
27. Rutherford B. Hayes 1877-81 (Republican)
26. Calvin Coolidge 1923-29 (Republican)
25. Gerald Ford 1974-77 (Republican)
24. Andrew Johnson 1865-69 (Democratic, National Union)
23. Bill Clinton 1993-2001 (Democratic)
22. Chester Arthur 1881-85 (Republican)
I’m quite surprised to see Bill Clinton so low, others may be relieved or wishing he were even lower. Regardless of your view, the reasoning behind the ranking for these ten is here.
