The 10 WORST U.S. Presidents in our history by ranking
US NEWS rankings
Not all U.S. presidents are missed once they leave the White House. U.S. News averaged the results of three major presidential polls to make its own list of America's worst presidents.
Counting down from 10th worst to worst according to US NEWS:
10th worst. Zachary Taylor
Taylor's brief presidency came to an end in 1850 when he fell ill after celebrating the Fourth of July holiday, becoming one of eight presidents to die in office. Some think his opposition to what became the Compromise of 1850—which began to undo the Missouri Compromise—might have precipitated the outbreak of the Civil War. If it had, Taylor would not have hesitated to take on the would-be seceders. And his war record might have given them pause.

Hoover was known as a poor communicator who fueled trade wars and exacerbated the Great Depression. Once the Depression set in, he lowered taxes and started public works projects to create jobs, but he steadfastly resisted outright relief.
Hoover's rigid adherence to conservative principles may not have been his greatest problem. A poor communicator, he came across as mean-spirited and uncaring. The homeless dubbed their make-shift shanty towns Hoovervilles.
Perhaps his single greatest policy blunder was supporting and signing into law a a tariff act that fueled international trade wars and made the Depression even worse. But style points alone would have cost him the election against FDR.
9 th worst Herbert Hoover

He backed the Compromise of 1850 that delayed the Southern secession by allowing slavery to spread.
The 13th president came to office on the coattails of a popular war hero, Zachary Taylor, who died in office a little over a year after becoming president.
A largely ignored vice president, he got Taylor's attention when he told him he would support the Compromise of 1850 if the Senate came to a deadlock. Consisting of five separate acts (including the Fugitive Slave Law, compelling the federal government to return fugitive slaves to their masters), the compromise stood for everything Taylor opposed.
When the ailing president died, his successor became an even more vigorous champion of the compromise measures. Fillmore's actions may have averted a national crisis and postponed the outbreak of the Civil War, but it was peace bought at an unconscionable price.
Two decades after the notorious deal, The New York Times opined that it was Fillmore's "misfortune to see in slavery a political and not a moral question." "Misfortune" might now seem too kind a word.

This asshole was a stalwart defender of slavery who abandoned his party's platform once he was president.
Virginian John Tyler was the first president to rise by succession from the vice presidency—when William Harrison succumbed to pneumonia only 30 days after being sworn into office. Once he became president, Tyler opposed everything his adopted party stood for, including a national bank.
One fellow Whig accused Tyler of reviving "the condemned and repudiated doctrines and practices of the worst days of Jackson's rule." The entire Harrison-appointed cabinet resigned, and Tyler had to fight an attempt to impeach him.
7 th worst John Tyler

Harding was an avid golfer (like trump) whose administration is perhaps best remembered for its litany of corruption and scandals (also just like Trump)
A former newspaperman and publisher who won a string of offices in his native Ohio, he was an unrestrained womanizer (surprise! also just like Trump)
Once in the White House, the 29th president busied himself with golf, poker, and his mistress, while appointees and cronies plundered the U.S. government in a variety of creative ways. (just remarkable the similarities between him and Trump)

Took a break to do some basketball handicapping. It is a sports gambling website after all and I've been hitting lately
Will continue soon
And I have bigger plans too because the worst ranked presidents can't be confined to just one ranking list, as there are a few. Each of those will be included too. And if Joe Biden is ranked down among the worst of the worst then so be it. The public has a right to know what the political science historians and presidential experts have to say. If names appear at the bottom of different rankings then they deserve their ranking regardless if they are voted in again or not.

That the ninth president makes any list at all is almost an act of scholarly injustice. The Virginian's greatest claim to fame was defeating the Shawnees in 1811 at the Battle of Tippecanoe.
Delivering the longest inaugural address in U.S. history, he came down with pneumonia that made his 30-day presidency the shortest in U.S. history, thereby removing any chance he can be ranked among the best.
5th worst William Henry Harrison

Pierce's fervor for expanding the borders – thereby adding several slave states – helped set the stage for the Civil War.
Theodore Roosevelt later wrote of Pierce that he was "a servile tool of men worse than himself ... ever ready to do any work the slavery leaders set him." Not even a fawning campaign biography written by Pierce's college friend Nathaniel Hawthorne could offset such damning reviews.
4th worst President. Franklin Pierce
