The quiz is based on an aggregate of academic and journalist surveys -- Carter is ranked at 27 and Nixon at 32.

One can argue the legitimacy of Bush's electoral wins but beyond that he's rated low not only by academics an journalist but also in general popularity surveys. Carter on the other hand has a fairly decent general popularity rating.

The badness of Carter is played up by contemporary conservatives in the same way that Muslims like to exaggerate how awful the period in Arab history before the arrival of Muhammad was. He has to be terrible or else the coming of Reagan the messiah doesn't seem quite as significant. Honest historians know he wasn't actually that bad. Bush, on the other hand...

though, that said, #27 and #32 out of 44 isn't exactly good.

Gee, I sure am glad that there's no political favouritism on this - oh wait, they have the guy who successfully started a manhunt for one of the worst human beings then in existence but not the guy who cheated on his wife while in office. Yup. Reeeeaaaal balanced there, guys.

Neither Bush, Jr. nor Carter were bad presidents. I would rank them in the top 10 percentile, higher than both Polk and Wilson. Certainly higher than Reagan, who allowed our hostages to languish in Iranian captivity until after his inauguration for no purpose except to rub Carter's nose in it. This is the man you want to call a great president?
