George Washington - FF
John Adams - FF (yay Federalism.  Too bad he hated Hamilton.)
Thomas Jefferson - FF
James Madison - FF
James Monroe - FF
John Q. Adams - HP, but only as president.  He was one of the best Secretaries of State.
Andrew Jackson - HP for dismantling the BUS.  FF for encouraging the common people to take part in elections
Martin Van Buren - HP
William Harrison - HP (incompetent).  Would have been better had Clay been nominated.
John Tyler - HP
James Polk - FF
Zachary Taylor -HP
Millard Fillmore - HP
Franklin Pierce - HP (completely incompetent)
James Buchanan - HP (even more incompetent than Pierce)
Abraham Lincoln - Both (FF for preserving the union, HP for his autocratic methods of keeping the peace at home)
Andrew Johnson - Terrible president, but he resisted idiots like Thad Stevens who called for the complete destruction of the South, so barely FF
Ulysses Grant - HP (great general though)
Rutherford Hayes - HP (Tilden would have been a better president
James Garfield - HP
Chester Arthur - FF (for the Pendleton Act and civil service reform)
Grover Cleveland - FF
Benjamin Harrison - HP
William McKinley - Both (Spanish-American War was a good thing, but he ignored our nation's farmers)
Theodore Roosevelt - Massive FF (for environmental policies and Big Stick Diplomacy)
William Taft - FF (for Dollar Diplomacy)
Woodrow Wilson - Massive FF (for the 16th, 17th, and 19th Amendments, for bailing the Allies out in WWI, and for the revolutionary concept of the League of Nations that isolationist Republicans shot down)
Warren Harding - HP
Calvin Coolidge - FF
Herbert Hoover - HP (He is not to blame for the depression, but he kinda made things worse with the Smoot-Hawley Tariff)
Franklin Roosevelt - Massive FF (New Deal may have gone too far constitutionally, but it fueled optimism.  Of course he also won WWII)
Harry Truman - Massive FF (great Cold War policy)
Dwight Eisenhower - HP (For having John Foster Dulles as Secretary of State, and paid no attention to social issues)
John Kennedy - HP (empty rhetoric, accomplished nothing, laid groundwork for Vietnam involvement)
Lyndon Johnson - HP (went too far with Great Society, Vietnam;  good environmental policies though; actually much of Great Society such as Head Start, Medicare, and Medicaid wasn't that bad.  Affirmative Action was awful, though.)
Richard Nixon - HP (for secret bombing of Cambodia and failure to end the war in his first term; Watergate.  However, he was also a FF for opening up China and for founding the EPA)
Gerald Ford - FF
Jimmy Carter - HP (but only in his policies.  Personally, he's a FF in the purest sense of the word)
Ronald Reagan - FF (for taking steps necessary with Gorbachev to end Cold War.  HP for almost everything else)
George H. W. Bush - Mixed - FF for Desert Storm, but HP for not taking out Saddam when he had the chance.
Bill Clinton - FF
George W. Bush - HP
