Most Popular Presidents in U.S. History
Barack Hussein Obama II (born August 4, 1961) is an American politician who served as the 44th president of the United States from 2009 to 2017. He was the first African-American president of the United States... read more This President had to face one of the worst economic downturns in the history of the nation. In addition, the opposition party declared that this President would not get any help from the opposition party. This President had this nation number one enemy captured, where his predecessors could not accomplish. This President got a health bill through congress without the help of the opposition party. It is unfortunate that this country is still listening to the wrong parts of the citizens who do not want equity and harmony in this country. President Obama has performed without the opposition being able to hurt him.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29th, 1917 - November 22, 1963) commonly referred to by his initials JFK, was an American politician who served as the 35th President of the United States from January 1961 until his assassination. The Cuban Missile Crisis, The Bay of Pigs Invasion, the Nuclear Test Ban... read more John F. Kennedy has the highest approval rating in Presidential History. He was a young, handsome and endearing leader who supported the Civil Rights Movement and Expanded the Space Race by sending the First Man on the Moon. This guy despite only serving two years into his first term due to being assassinated. He is an inspiration to many and to the Americans. Kennedy was all about the freedom and the only Democratic President who Republicans admired a lot. He was basically the Lincoln of the 60s. He cracked down on how taxpayer money was sent, especially after being in a phone call over furniture. Conspiraces still arise as no one knows who really did assassinate the 35th President of the United States.
Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) was an American lawyer and statesman who served as the 16th president of the United States from 1861 until his assassination in 1865. Lincoln led the nation through the American Civil War and succeeded in preserving the Union, abolishing slavery,... read more Hahaaahahaaha! Why is Barack Obama #1? No one likes him and it's not because he's black so anyone who says that I'm racist needs to get a grip of reality and understand that most people don't care about your skin color and they just don't like your personality, sorry. Abraham Lincoln is the person we should look up to for ending racism, not some guy who just happened to be black! Saying that white people who are republicans and don't like Obama are racist, that itself is racist! If we were black you wouldn't be saying that! If only your great great grandparents (if they were slaves) were here now. They'd be thankful that their descendants have all of the equality that they do. They'd be way more thankful for Abraham Lincoln than Barack Obama.
Ronald Wilson Reagan (1911-2004) was an American politician and actor who was 40th President of the United States from 1981 to 1989 . Prior to his presidency, he was the 33rd Governor of California from 1967 to 1975, following a career as a Hollywood actor and union leader until his death in 2004 He was the greatest president since Carter...so not great. In fact, he was one of the worst world leaders of all time. I know I'm going to get people saying, "No, he was a great president, you belong in an asylum," but I find increasing the debt of a nation, bribing terrorists with weapons, and disregarding a disease because your a homophobic jackass to make someone a pretty terrible human being, let alone a president.
Ronald Reagan always had America's best interest at heart. He made us proud to be Americans. Creating millions of jobs and taking us out of the darkness that was caused by inflation and infighting. The word's that echo in my ears still today are "tear down this wall" and so it was the Berlin wall came down. He was always so respectful of his military and so proud of them. He was a good one, better then most. Wished we had another like him.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, commonly known as FDR, was an American statesman and political leader who served as the 32nd President of the United States from 1933 to 1945. A Democrat, he won a record four presidential elections and dominated his party for many years as a central figure in world events... read more He managed to circomvent the Nutrality Acts and formed a strong bond with Canada.To continue the fight America was needed and in an active role. McKenzie King and Roosevelt could use this argument of national defense to form a treaty to unite with Canada to fight off the Nazis. But, Rosevelt wanted the mighty British Fleet under US command if that ever happened. Churchill wasn't excited about that. It was the Prime Minister of Canada, McKenzie King, who worked on Churchill. Eventually, we have this. Ogdensburg Agreement - Wikipedia and later this Permanent Joint Board on Defense - Wikipedia. Churchhill was not happy. At this point in history, world power shifted from Britain to The United States with the help of Canada. The stage was set in August of 1940. Had this not developed, what would be our history today?
George Washington (February 22, 1732– December 14, 1799) was an American military officer, statesman, and Founding Father who served as the first president of the United States from 1789 to 1797. Appointed by the Continental Congress as commander of the Continental Army, Washington led the Patriot... read more Washington was the primary founding father of our nation as he led the militia and continental army into crucial battles. Once the war was won, he continued on to be the chairman of the constitutional convention and later the first and only unanimously elected president of the United States. He was considered to be a war hero and demigod among the people allowing him to have ample power to form the union. Being nonpartisan, he led the young country through its early growing pains and left it a more stable institution at the time of his retirement.
Theodore Roosevelt was an American statesman, author, explorer, soldier, naturalist, and reformer who served as the 26th President of the United States from 1901 to 1909. As a leader of the Republican Party during this time, he became a driving force for the Progressive Era in the United States in the... read more Loves Hunting, Loves Nature. Loves Fighting, Loves The People. A Man who puts up a Republicans spirit and a Democrats Beliefs. This Man is Americana just by looking at him. Both a Veteran and Politician, he freed the common man from the snake that was monopolies, and therefore, A Great Man and President.
An incredibly tough person, who survived an assassination attempt during a campaign speech, and with the bullet lodged against his ribs, still finished up the speech before going to the hospital. A shame we have nobody like that today.
Thomas Jefferson was an American Founding Father who was principal author of the Declaration of Independence, and served as the 3rd President of the United States from 1801-1809. He was born on April 13, 1743, and died on July 4, 1826, on the same day 2nd United States President John Adams died. Come on, he is the best! Scientist, atheist, smart guy who didn't involved in any shady business, participated in creation of the Bill of Rights, his quotes are inspiring till now,... I could go on forever like this. He is just the best, hands off
Jeez, I hope a lot of the voters on this list are non-Americans, who can be excused for not being familiar with all of the names.
Otherwise, it reflects very poorly on our current educational system.
A great thinker and eloquent writer. Though a slave-owner himself, he promoted polices to curb it and helped lay a groundwork that was used to undermine the practice.
William Jefferson Clinton (Born August 19th 1946) is an American politician who was the 42nd President of the United States. He previously served as governor of Arkansas. He became president after unseating incumbent president George H.W. Bush in 1992. He was re-elected in 1996 after defeating Senator... read more How this man was ever elected the second time is beyond me. One is never really two different people, moral and honest in one situation and corrupt in another. He really pulled the wool over the eyes of millions of people with his smooth talk. No this man should have never been elected the first time, and definitely never the second time. The fact that he is on this list does not speak well of the citizens of this country!
The 90's were pretty good... Bush the senior may have done a few things right economically and deserves a little credit, but Clinton led the country with vision and an even keel. Why do we have to worry about his affairs? It seriously doesn't matter.
Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is an American businessman, television personality, politician, and the 45th President of the United States.Born and raised in Queens, New York City, Donald J. Trump received an economics degree from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania... read more
So he is the most popular president, but he 100% doesn't deserve it. He is the worst. I am literally gonna cry when he becomes president again. When he was president, that's when COVID started, and that's when America went down.
Even though Biden is not the best president, I am glad trump's not the president right now.(Wrote trump with a little T on purpose, by the way.) He also is very ugly. And he only thinks and lives for himself. He didn't go to the ceremony when Biden became president because of his own dumb pride! He was probably throwing a tantrum in his bedroom.
He is also such a horrible role model for the kids in the U.S. I just hate him. I remember the day when everyone found out who was president. I lived in Manhattan at that time, and everyone was so happy. Screaming, with flags saying Biden, it was so fun. Like I said, he isn't the best president, but none of them are perfect. So happy Trump is not president anymore.
Dwight David "Ike" Eisenhower was an American politician and general who served as the 34th President of the United States from 1953 until 1961. He was a five-star general in the United States Army during World War II and served as Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe. According to most history teachers, this great human being never even existed. No wonder today's young voters are happy with such idiots.
Eisenhower was so popular that both the Democrats and the Republicans wanted him to be their nominee in the 1952 election.
A general that always was the spokesperson for peace. A bit forgotten through the ages, but a brilliant man.
John Adams was born on October 30, 1735 in Quincy, Massachusetts, United States. Adams served as the president of the United States from March 4, 1797 to March 4, 1801. He died on July 4, 1826 at the age of 90. An important founding father, and the most important in the history of Massachusetts, had a difficult presidency that led to partisan tensions throughout the country.
He wrote " May none but honest and wise men ever rule under this roof."
James Earl "Jimmy" Carter, Jr. (born October 1, 1924) is an American politician and author who served as the 39th President of the United States from 1977 to 1981. In 2002, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work with the Carter Center. Carter may have been one of the most despised presidents of all time, but he was one of the only genuinely good-hearted ones.
Truly a great person, I think we need another like him right now, though maybe a little more competent.
A very kind man and a good human being. No wonder he only lasted one term...
Richard Milhous Nixon was the 37th President of the United States from 1969 until his resignation in 1974, the only president to resign from office. He had previously served as the 36th Vice President of the United States from 1953 to 1961, and prior to that as a U.S. Representative and also Senator... read more He was a great but deeply complicated man, who had good intentions but didn't always do the right thing. His leadership and intelligence helped ease tensions with the USSR and brought China into the international community. He was a great and flawed man, but he was a man.
While Nixon is more commonly hated than any other president, he is easily the most well known. We teach children about him, constantly mock him, and his name is now synonymous for lying. There really isn't a contest here.
Again another president that didn't take the job seriously and is a disgrace to the country
Ulysses S. Grant was an American soldier and statesman who served as Commanding General of the Army and the 18th President of the United States, the highest positions in the military and the government of the United States. Saved America, did not believe in slavery, overcame his demons.
Seen her getting wasted on hootch before a major battle.
Helped restore America post civil war.
Andrew Jackson was an American statesman who served as the seventh President of the United States from 1829 to 1837 . He was born near the end of the colonial era, somewhere near the then-unmarked border between North and South Carolina, into a recently immigrated Scots-Irish farming family of relatively... read more He is a badass action hero who saved New Orleans from the Bloody Brittish. I think he owed slaves and I'm not sure he was a good President, but he was the man in 1812!
Beloved in his day, but despised now (particularly due to the Indian Removal Act).
His face is on a twenty dollar bill he should be number 4 or 5?
William McKinley was the 25th President of the United States, serving from March 4, 1897 until his assassination in September 1901, six months into his second term. This guy just creeps me out and scares me kinda glad he was assassinated
George Herbert Walker Bush (June 12, 1924 - November 30, 2018) was an American politician who served as the 41st President of the United States from 1989 to 1993. Prior to assuming the presidency, Bush served as the 43rd Vice President of the United States under Ronald Reagan from 1981 to 1989. The only decent Republican. Brilliant family man perfect.
Beloved as Vice President, but not so much as President.
The least terrible of the Bushes. That's not saying much.
Lyndon Baines Johnson, often referred to as LBJ, was the 36th President of the United States from 1963 to 1969, assuming the office after serving as the 37th Vice President of the United States under President John F. Kennedy. He helped many Americans with the Civil Rights Act, although many Americans... read more Not only did he pass the Civil and Voting Rights Acts Kennedy put into motion before his assassination, but his charisma with Congress assured him the passage of those bills. Under the Kennedy Administration, there was not enough party support for the bills but Johnson not only garnered it, he made sure they would pass. Also he passed Medicare and Medicaid, two of the most important pieces of health care legislation. He understood what the persecuted needed. He was a man who represented the minority: the discriminated, the hungry, the poor, etc.
Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. (born November 20, 1942) is an American politician who is the 46th and current president of the United States. A member of the Democratic Party, he served as the 47th vice president from 2009 to 2017 under Barack Obama and represented Delaware in the United States Senate from... read more President Biden will come to be known as a unifier of all sides, during times of intensely polarised political divisions in the West, especially when all sides will be united in their pain and hardship, with the Biden Administration as their only saviour.
He is a great thing for the hard times of the pandemic and its resulting economic turmoil; he is more experienced in running a superpower and the free world than anyone else. A deeply pragmatic leader, filled with hope and compassion, with a slow but experienced and firm approach to doing things. He is also quite a centre-oriented Democrat; he is humanitarian and makes difficult economic decisions to help his own people during these days of crisis, along with being proactive on environmental issues, yet he also holds hawkish stances on defence, security and foreign policy. His administration is a great thing for the divided and injured world right now, from any sane perspective which understands what the 21st century is about to bring.
He will likely be remembered kindly by history, but also remembered as the personification of the last of a generation of the old golden days of 20th century America, with all its flaws.
George Walker Bush is an American politician and businessman who was born in July 6, 1946. He served as the 43rd President of the United States from 2001 to 2009 and 46th Governor of Texas from 1995 to 2000. He is the eldest son of Barbara and George H. W. There's an old saying Tennessee, I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee, that says elect a moron like me president once, shame one me, elect a moron like me president twice, shame one you.
Worst president of all time I don't even know what his picture is doing here. You don't here of critics because he is white. What a shame.
He was a good president but not the best... he did a lot for america like helped with 9/11 and Katrina.
Andrew Johnson was the 17th President of the United States, serving from 1865 to 1869. Johnson became president as he was vice president at the time of the assassination of [Abraham Lincoln].
John Quincy Adams (July 11, 1767 – February 23, 1848) was an American statesman who served as the sixth President of the United States from 1825 to 1829 at the peak of a political career during which he served in various capacities as diplomat, United States Senator, United States Secretary of State,... read more
Thomas Woodrow Wilson was an American politician and academic who served as the 28th President of the United States from 1913 to 1921. Born in Staunton, Virginia, he spent his early years in Augusta, Georgia and Columbia, South Carolina.
William Howard Taft served as the 27th President of the United States and as the tenth Chief Justice of the United States, the only person to have held both offices. William Taft is famous for getting stuck in the bath tub. His wife planted the cherry trees in Washington DC. Japan gave them to her as a gift. Taft worked in all three branches of government. He's the best president and the cutest and the nicest.
People always talk about how he got stuck in the bathtub. But at least he increased the bathtub's size.
Taft was my favorite president and he didn't really get stuck in the bathtub.
