Pandemic recovery, not a criminal, not a pedophile enabler. Economic recovery to the point that even many Trumpster politicians are trying to take credit for his work.
Just that Americans are aware that Biden was a better president than Trump is.
If Biden was as good as a President as you appear to believe that he was, then why did the Democratic Party force him to drop out the 2024 election? Why did Kamala Harris do so very poorly in the election by becoming the first Democratic Party Presidential nominee to lose the popular vote in decades?
I'm sorry but I hope that you can do better than citing Wikipedia as your source.Scandals of the Reagan administration - Wikipedia

Because his age was catching up with him, just as it is with Trump. And you can see the results. If Trump had only had one term, I doubt if Americans would have rated him as poorly as they do now.
She was a very unlikeable candidate for many people. But that has nothing to do with why Americans consider Biden a better president than Donald Trump.
Mostly, it wasn't Reagan's fault. By his second term, Reagan was almost as confused as Trump. A number of his people betrayed him as in Iran/Contra.
Because he was too old and the Democratic Party is run by a bunch of self destructive fools.
She didn’t do poorly. She did better than Trump did in 2020.
No she didn't. No one runs for vice president. They just happen to be on the same ticket as the person people are actually voting for.
I’m talking about her results in ‘24 compared to Trump in 2020. Trump lost by a wider margin in 2020 than Harris lost to him in 2024.
Yes. For example, most historians ( who have the perspective of history) rate him poorly, but not as the worst. He usually beats out Buchanan and Pierce.
Bush had the advantage of being a genuinely friendly person who didn't mind laughing at himself. One wall in his presidential library is covered in a cartoon, showing him trying to convince a park service ranger to let him put his bust up on Mt. Rushmore. People forgive a lot if the president isn't insecure and arrogant.
I remember the hearings. He kept saying the he didn't recall what happened. It was a defense that I told my guys to use, when I was a Union president. I think that he was more involved than he admitted to but no one knew that he was suffering from dementia.
It's less about memories than present-ism. When things are not going well for people, including just them personally, they tend to blame the leaders including the president. The 2023-24 economy was OK generally, but the impacts and benefits were not evenly distributed and people blamed the current president for it. Similarly people blamed Trump for just *being* the president during COVID. (A fair, dispassionate assessment of both might have put Biden's economic performance, policy wise as a B or B- and Trump's COVID response [relative to what he could have done and what others did] as perhaps a C-, but that's not how voters emote about it.)
