Best/Worst Presidents for Communication Ability

From Siena 2022 poll

I don't think Jefferson, Madison, Washington, or Adams should be ranked high up here. Aside from inaugural addresses, they rarely spoke. They did provide what are now State of the Union addresses, but they were read by Congress to Congress. 

For part B, I voted only for those that were poor speakers or avoided speaking as much as possible. I find it odd that WH Harrison is there as speaking was about the only thing he got to do as president---the longest inaugural speech ever!

I've noticed in a lot of those polls, William Henry Harrison ranks really low across the board- probably for no particular reason, he might just be really easy to put at the bottom

I’m surprised the malaise speech didn’t land Carter in the bottom 12. Granted, the harsh reaction to the speech was almost entirely media-manufactured but

I thought about that as well.
