Out of all the Presidents who were reelected, which one least deserved it?

Lincoln

Lincoln won the Civil War and abolsihed slavery. He deserved to get relected for that. It's a huge tragedy he was assainted, though. Our country would have been much better off right now if it wasn't for that.

I doubt it. The period of congressional rule that followed the election of 1866 was good for America.

Wilson [...] extremley-socialist economic polices

Going by the times that the presidents were reelected I don't think it's fair to place Bush as the least deserving of it. He was still somewhat popular at the time. I would have to go with Wilson, Truman, or Johnson.

Ya real popular. He was the only president in U.S. history who was re-elected when his popularity was below 50%.

What are you talking about? No, Truman was the only one reelected with an approval rating of 49%. Bush had a 53% approval rating that night. Where do you get your information and why did you say his popularity was below 50%?

Truman wasn't reelected, just elected once.

Congratulations on splitting hairs. Is it really about being elected or reelected? Or is it about the approval rating on election night? Oh I think we can agree it's the latter and you've changed the subject to find the nitty gritty. Truman's approval rating was 49% when he was reelected.

I explicitly said in this thread that this is about Presidents being reelected, not elected. Thus Truman was not included in the poll options.

yada yada yada. Ok so there has never been a president below 50% approval who was reelected. The one to deserve it the least was FDR because he was a socialist and tried to stack the supreme court.

FDR wasn't a socialist and while I disagree with his court packing plan, that was hardly the worst thing any President ever did. And the SC back then was pretty bad--it overturned a law banning child labor back in 1918.

That's no excuse to politicize the courts. All he did was create a generation of people who were dependent on the government for every little thing.

He failed with his court-packing plan. All of his Supreme Court appointments were constitutional.

Enlarging the size of the Supreme Court was also constitutional.
