In the political study, the survey was done to create a historical record of the success of the people

General results

Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and George Washington were always the three most valuable historians among historians. The rest of the top ten are Theodore Roosevelt, Thomas Jefferson, Harry S. Truman, Woodrow Wilson, Dwight D. Often impressed by Eisenhower, Andrew Jackson and John F. Kennedy. More recent presidents, such as Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton are often rated among the best in the opinion polls of the world, but do not always rank as high among the President scholars and historians, among the top 10 are often James Buchanan, Warren G. Harding, Andrew Johnson, Franklin Piers, Mildard Fillmore, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Ulysses S. Grant, Jachier Taylor and George W. Bush. Because William Henry Harrison (30 days) and James A. Garfield (200 days, disabled after 119 days) both die shortly after taking office, but sometimes their presidential rank is excluded. Zakariya Taylor died after having served as President for only 16 months, but she is usually included. In these three cases, it is not clear whether they have received a low ranking due to their actions as the President, or for every limited time the President was not able to evaluate them better.

Political scientist Walter Dean Berneram referred to the President as "bipartisan or sublimated profile", which could be some hard to classify. Historian Allan Brinkley said that "the presidents may be considered as failures and both great or near (for example, Nixon)". Historian and political scientist James McGregor Barnes observed Nixon, "How can such a genuine president evaluate, so beautiful and so morally lacking?" [4]

David H. Donald, the well-known biographer of Abraham Lincoln, while he was interviewed with John F. Kennedy in 1961, Canadian had some ratings from his predecessors who, with his historians, had a deep resentment and dissatisfaction with voice. Kennedy said, "No one is entitled to Presidential grade - even poor James Buchanan-who did not sit on his chair, checked his mail and information that came across his desk, and why he decided." [5]

Historian and political scientist Julian E. Jelisar argues that traditional presidential status rarely explains the history of the President, and for the evaluation of what happened in the White House, they are "weak methods". [6] Liberal political commentator Ian Eddie wrote a book titled Reciriting Rashmor (2008; Update 2014), where he wrote that the ability of historians to reflect the president's ability was poor. In the book, the United States 40 likes the US President that their policies have been chosen based on promoting prosperity, independence, and non-interference, as well as a little executive role for themselves; His final ranking is significantly different than most scholars.
