More people think President Biden will rank among the worst chief executives in American history than think the same about former President Donald Trump.
According to a poll released Wednesday by Rasmussen Reports and the National Pulse, 54% of likely voters see Mr. Biden’s presidency as likely to occupy such a low status in the future.
That majority was offset by just 15% thinking he will rank as one of America’s best presidents. The other 25% expect his presidency to be seen in the future as “about average.”
By contrast, when the same question was asked about Mr. Trump, 43% said he would go down in history as among the worst president. The same question of former President Barack Obama got agreement from 33% of respondents.
While Mr. Biden’s low rankings were affected by partisanship — 74% of Republicans predicted he’d rank as among the worst presidents — it wasn’t all about that.
For example, slightly more Democrats (28%) said he would rank among the worst presidents as thought he’d be among the best (27%).
The survey of 1,000 U.S. likely voters was conducted Jan. 30-31 and has an error margin of 3 percentage points.
