15 Least Successful Presidents of All Time

The following is a ranking of the 15 least successful presidents of all time made by Insidermonkey experts. It is based off what the Presidents did while in office, in terms of policy, decision making, and legacy. This does not include the overall lifetime achievements of each person on these lists. If it did, for example, men like Jackson, Grant, Eisenhower, etc. would be in different spots due to their pivotal military leadership.

The time period was also taken into account (Franklin Pierce supported slavery, that makes him much worse on a moral level by our standards today than Jimmy Carter, who is ranked as “worse” than him). We looked at the morality/practicality of the Presidents’ positions through the national zeitgeist at the time in question. However, this does not mean that we can’t judge the long term consequences of their choices, as we do below. You can also read our list of the most successful presidents of all time.
