Top and Bottom Presidents based on personal life only

[Karpatsky]

I often hear people differentiate between president's personal life and their effectiveness in office - in particular, I hear this a lot about Carter, saying he's a good person but a bad president. Thoughts on this overall? I'm afraid I don't know enough about presidential personal history to make my own list.

I feel that Johnson, Jackson, Polk, Roosevelt are all definitely tops, while I believe that Harding, Buchanan, Tyler would be bottoms.

Top: Harding

Bottom: Carter

Obviously

I don't know that much about personal lives of Presidents, but from what I do know, Barack Obama is the top President in that category, with either JFK or Bill Clinton at the bottom.

Yup, Buchanan was def a bottom.

Are there alternative definitions to 'top' and 'bottom' which I am missing here?
