Roosevelt, probably. Not perfect, but the new deal is a major reason why I admire him.

MODERATORS
William Taft, man was thiccc
Definitely an underrated one!
Richard Nixon, while definitely and uncommon choice I've always been captivated by him. His highs were high like creating the EPA, negotiating SALT and pulling out of Vietnam but his lows were very low most notably being the Watergate Scandal which has overshadowed his presidency. I've also just found him as a person just very interesting from his harsh upbringing to his battle with mental health.
Eisenhower's gotta be my personal favorite too, followed closely by Coolidge!
Hearing Ike's farewell address or his D-Day speech is just mindblowing. The latter almost sounds too good to have existed in real life imo
