No. The Watergate Scandal is typically what we remember about Nixon, and this was undoubtedly a terrible act. However, Nixon had a number of important accomplishments during his presidency that deserve some credit, such as...

going on a diplomatic mission to China, something that his predecessors would not do,

started diplomacy with the Soviet Union, relieving some Cold War tensions,

ended the Vietnam War,

ended peacetime draft,

set up Council on Environmental Quality,

and the list goes on.

Nixon certainly had his failures, too. However, if not for the Watergate Scandal, he might be regarded as a very good or even great president.

Some President that are commonly thought of as the worst in U.S. history, and by extension worse than Nixon, are:

Millard Fillmore

Franklin Pierce

James Buchanan

Andrew Johnson

Ulysses S. Grant

Warren Harding

Was Carter or is Obama the worst President in history?

That is an unfair question, since it assumes both of these men did a bad job, and that is not necessarily true. Carter had his detractors, but now that several decades have passed, history is showing that some of his decisions were actually quite reasonable. As for Obama, clearly you do not like him, but that does not make him the worst president. In fact, it should be noted that President Bush inspired similar comments from those who disliked him-- it is also true that many other presidents have been called the worst president in history. Many historians would say that one candidate for "worst president" was Richard Nixon, who was nearly impeached for corruption and had to resign from the presidency.


Is George H. W. Bush the worst President to date?

No, some people would think that Richard Nixon was (resigned over dirty tricks and spying).Warren G. Harding had only 2 years as President (1921-1923), and his administration was marked by numerous scandals involving friends who received political appointments.There are many official lists by numerous sources that list the best to worst president. Best is always Abe Lincoln and worst is usually Harrison, Harding some others.. Bush averages around 36 to 38 of the 43 past presidents, that is obviously no accomplishment.
