Would you rank Barack Obama as one of the better or worse Presidents?
It's interesting most scholars rank Obama really highly yet he remains heavily divisive.

Lincoln was pretty divisive yet is seen as one of the best presidents, so not certain how much divisiveness relates to the quality of the presidency. It needs to be offset by other beneficial actions, and also needs to consider why there was divisiveness. It isn't necessarily from something that the person did that he is disliked.
I put Obama up about number 20 out of what, 55? presidents. He wasn't terrible at all, but he wasn't really able to overcome the deep animosity of the other political faction despite doing things that were very much centrist in nature.

He was much better than the one that came before him and the one that came after him.
