I chose Carter. I think it's unfair to compare 19th century presidents with those in the modern era. For that matter, the early 20th century you could say the same thing.
Also, when you go back beyond your own lifetime, you're relying on historians vs. your own living through the times. So that is a tough comparison too.
In my lifetime, it's Carter no question. And based on what I know of history, I'd include the rest of the 20th century in that. Beyond that who knows.
