Barack Obama and Ronald Reagan are up, Bill Clinton is down and Donald Trump is off to a historically bad start — and the greats, meanwhile, remain the greats.
That was the finding of the 2018 Presidents & Executive Politics Presidential Greatness Survey, released Monday by professors Brandon Rottinghaus of the University of Houston and Justin S. Vaughn of Boise State University. The survey results, ranking American presidents from best to worst, were based on responses from 170 current and recent members of the Presidents and Executive Politics section of the American Political Science Association....
Even among self-identified Republicans and conservatives, Trump came in 40th out of 44 (while Trump is officially the 45th president, the survey did not count Grover Cleveland’s non-consecutive terms separately, so the ranking runs from 1-44).
Trump comes in last in expert presidential rankings survey
At the time the poll was released, there were complaints that it was "unfair" to judge Trump after only one year in office.....some even called it "irresponsible".
I think it is now fair to acknowledge that APSA was prescient.
In fact, one might ask if Trump's ranking in the Siena Survey, where he finished in the bottom 3 ahould be subject to downward revision.
