Ever since 1948, when Harvard professor Arthur Schlesinger Sr. asked 55 historians to rank U.S. presidents on a scale from “great” to “failure,” such polls have been a favorite pastime for those of us who study the American past.
The most recent poll of 238 presidential scholars (conducted in July 2010) ranks Bush as the WORST PRESIDENT IN MODERN HISTORY. Overall he ranks 39th, which is fifth from the bottom. Official bottom five list is: A. Johnson, Buchanan, Harding, Pierce and G.W. Bush.
