3. Franklin D. Roosevelt
It’s no surprise that Franklin D. Roosevelt ranks third on the list of presidents given that he was elected four times. He served between 1882 and 1945 as the 32nd US leader.
Roosevelt led our country through the Great Depression and World War II and also expanded the role of the federal government with his New Deal, a set of domestic policies that would help the country after the 1929 stock market crash.
Roosevelt’s presidency during World War II established US leadership on the world stage, while his social programs revolutionized the role of government in Americans’ lives.
He’s ranked high on the list due to his high scores for crisis leadership, public persuasion, and his ability to set an agenda.
