Here's the actual list, PDF warning: http://www.brandonrottinghaus.com/uploads/1/0/8/7/108798321/presidential_greatness_white_paper_2024.pdf
The headline makes it sound like Biden is the 14th worst, he's the 14th best. Not a fan of this headline.
George Washington as the greatest president and James Buchanan as the least great. There are also several presidents where partisan polarization is evident – Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Obama, and Biden – but interestingly not for Bill Clinton. Table 1: Overall Presidential Greatness Ratings and Rankings 2024 Rank President 2024 Rating Change 2015-2024 vs Change 2018-2024

Reagan as 16th kinda puts the whole poll into question.
People love Reagan, probably because they heard he was a great president. Or more likely, the people who voted weren't effected by his policies.
