Top Presidents Review Part 7

Posted by DJ Drummond

Published: December 15, 2008 - 9:00 AM

Readers may recall that every so often I like to get a sense of how they rate the Presidents of the United States. This go-round, I am doing something a little different; I randomized the list and then cut them into sets of three. Each day I will ask you about two sets, in each set rank the presidents 1-2-3 within that set. Here are today's sets:

Set Thirteen
Zachary Taylor
William Taft
James Monroe


Set Fourteen
Rutherford Hayes
Dwight Eisenhower
George HW Bush

  • Currently 3.2/5
  • 1
  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5
Rating: 3.2/5 (5 votes cast)

Set 13
Monroe
Taft
Taylor


Set 14
Eisenhower
Hayes
Bush

This is a pretty good set, and Bush would have edged out Hayes in my view had it not been for his disastrous response to the current crisis.

I need to modify my set 14, because I somehow missed the H in there. Should have been:

Eisenhower
Bush
Hayes
