How did the president stack up?
This page will pull every measured metric on the site into one cross-cutting report card — Reagan through Trump II, ranked the same way on each measure, with the inherited-conditions context that makes the ranking fair. It's the last build item, because it can only be as complete as the sections that feed it.
AVAILABLE NOW
Economic Report Card →
All 8 presidents ranked 1–8 on income, jobs, unemployment, inflation, debt, and poverty — averaged into one score. Lives at the bottom of the Affordability section.
Approval, Trust & Promises →
Gallup approval, the partisan gap, character traits, PolitiFact promise-tracking, and C-SPAN historian rankings. Lives in the Stability section.
Why ranking is fair but limited: Every metric uses the same formula for every president, so nobody gets a thumb on the scale. But a ranking can't know what a president inherited — someone who cleaned up a crisis can still rank below someone who coasted on a boom. The context cards exist for exactly that reason.
