Does there exist any way to see the most downvoted questions in this day/week/month/year/of all time on here? I tried doing a search for "most downvoted" and found this, which suggests the "dual" exists.

$\begingroup$ I don't like the downvote sistem who are children? You can always downvote a silly question, but it wont make a great Mathematician not even a mean mathematician but a mathematician mean! $\endgroup$– checkmathCommented Feb 20, 2012 at 1:41

Stack Exchange Data Explorer handles a lot of such queries.
There is a particular post for "Posts with most upvotes, downvotes, total votes, highest and lowest total score". I don't use the data explorer enough to know how, but I'm fairly sure you can place time limits on the queries.

1$\begingroup$ In this case, I clicked on "fork query" here: data.stackexchange.com/mathematics/query/50634/…, and then changed "month -1" to "month -60", which I think edits the code so that it goes back further than the (mathematics) site has existed for. $\endgroup$ Commented Feb 14, 2012 at 5:06
You can sort the "questions" page by votes and go to the last page:
https://math.stackexchange.com/questions?page=753&sort=votes
This only works for "all time" though.
