    An exclusive Daily Mail poll found Biden was less impressive than Jimmy Carter, who was voted out after a single term after presiding over double-digit inflation and a botched effort to rescue American hostages in Iran.

    The poll result also makes him worse in voters’ minds than Richard Nixon, who forced to resign rather than face impeachment over the devastating Watergate scandal.

    Yet when 1006 registered voters were asked to rank the last nine presidents in order, from best to worst, Biden came at the very bottom of the table, making him the worst in 47 years.

    Our poll found that more than half of American voters believed he was wrong to pardon his son. And it sent Biden’s historically low approval rating dropping another four points, to 37 percent.

    'Voters have obviously looked at his age, general conduct in office, his botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, the situation at the southern border, and decided that, in their view, it qualifies him to be the worst president in modern history.

    Ronald Reagan, remembered as the leader who won the Cold War and whose economic policies reduced inflation and created jobs, comes out top, followed by Barack Obama, the nation’s first African-American president.

    Bill Clinton comes third, suggesting that Biden cannot blame his lowly position on anti-Democrat bias.

    Nixon, who left office under the cloud of Watergate, is second to bottom. Yet ‘Tricky Dicky’ , who stepped down after it became known that he was involved in covering up a break-in by members of a group linked to his re-election campaign, as they sought to bug the offices of opponents, is still more popular than Biden.
