Trump voted worst president in history

Poll of the week: A new Fox News poll finds that 42% of voters say history will remember President Donald Trump as one of the worst presidents ever.

An additional 8% say he will be remembered as below average, while 22% say one of the greatest, 16% say above average and 10% say below average.

What's the point: With the Trump presidency coming to a close, historians and Americans alike are starting to put Trump in historical perspective. How they think of him now versus in a few years may change.

Still, it's very clear that historians and a lot of voters believe history will remember Trump as one of the worst ever, while a not insignificant amount will see him as one of the best ever.

Pollsters have been asking Americans about how history will take stock of different presidents at the end of their presidencies since Gerald Ford.

No president has garnered as many strongly negative feelings as Trump. The only president who came even close to getting as many low ratings (in a five-category question) was George W. Bush in a Gallup poll at the end of his presidency; 36% said he would go down as a "poor" president."

Vaguely remember some headline weeks (or months?) ago about history's opinion of Bush even rising in value due to Trump contrast. But for all intents and purposes, 'twould be just another fluctuating emotional product of the unreliable academic world of today.

Though recent and future POTUS may largely all experience a drought in the above regard.

I wonder if this would have been the case had Covid not occurred? It seems that most people who are surveyed, mainly loathe Trump over his mishandling (or perceived mishandling) of the pandemic. Many on the left disliked him before Covid, but he lost support from the Republicans over Covid.

I hated Trump even before he ran for president. His leading the birther movement against Obama and his trollish tweets told me everything I needed to know about this prick. And the campaign and following 4 years have confirmed everything I had concluded about him. So his failures in handling the covid pandemic didn't really phase me. It was just more of the usual incompetence and idiocy I had learned to expect from him.
