00:00 The 2024 Presidential Greatness Project Survey is a ranking of a president's ability to lead,
00:05 and is conducted by experts, including members of the President's and Executive Politics Section
00:10 of the American Political Science Association. To give some context,
00:14 Abraham Lincoln has been ranked as the greatest president to ever serve the nation.
00:18 So where do our most recent presidents end up on the list? Well, current President Joe Biden
00:23 landed at a respectable 14th. That's ahead of the likes of Ulysses S. Grant, Woodrow Wilson,
00:28 and even the Republican favorite, Ronald Reagan. Still, he was not able to one-up his former
00:33 running mate, Barack Obama, who ended up in the number 7 spot. But political opponent,
00:38 and former President Donald Trump, came in 45th out of 45. That's below even William Henry Harrison,
00:45 the U.S. leader who famously served only one month in office before dying of an illness.
00:50 Pollsters found that the political affiliation of respondents did not tend to make a major
00:54 difference overall in their scoring of the presidents. The 2024 presidential election
00:59 is now well underway. Now the only question for Americans is, will you choose number 14 or number
01:05 45?
