The 2018 Presidential Greatness Survey

In January of 2018, a presidential greatness survey was completed. It included a rating of president Trump for his first 11 months in office and all past presidents. Experts in the history or politics of US presidents were asked to rank US presidents in terms of (1) how they defined presidential greatness, and (2) how polarizing they believe each president is or was. The experts included democrats, republicans and independents.

The 13 page survey with its commentary is posted here: [dispol.blogspot.com]

The first two pages are attached below.

It is discussed by several sources: [time.com]
[statista.com]

The results are sobering. The experts ranked Trump last in terms of greatness and first in terms of being the most polarizing.

This is just more evidence of Trump's unfitness for office.

"Experts in History or politics"--translated = life-long indoctrinated liberals from colleges that only allow confirmed Leftists into liberal arts grad schools.

Ask any group of anti-communists (like JBS, NRA) and the results would be exactly opposite.

"Free Speech" not allowed on campus

@Daryl The choice of "experts" is always relevant. And evaluation of "Greatness" is so subjective as to be ridiculous.

@Daryl A telephone survey of "Experts" with only a 53% response rate, evaluating all the presidents--including Trump for only his first year, while all the others had multiple years. And the survey ranked Obama #8--And that info is in just the first paragraph and a half. What a useless piece of garbage this "survey" is--and you can't see it. APSA may be a prominent organization for many people interested in Political Science but, I also see that the only requirements to be a member of the Presidential and Executive Politics Section of APSA (the folks who were questioned in the survey) is to be 1) a student member or 2)pay $10/year membership.

In addition, I see all the officers and council members are closely associated with major Universities--which, unfortunately, means that they are 99.99% likely to be Leftists (unless they happened to be faculty of the "hard" Sciences):
