Historian David McCullough would have voted differently, but he died in 2022.

For such a poll, if it ever happened, to have ANY credibility they would have to publish WHO was polled. The underlying data I’m sure would show it was mainly democrats that were polled. Democrats would spit on their own mother if it would advance the ball on a political issue.

Something is terribly wrong with the survey. Even the "conservative" and "Republican" scholars surveyed -- and there's no indication of how many of them were surveyed or what percentage of the total they were -- rated Trump as worse than Biden or Bush II.

When it comes to which president should join Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Teddy Roosevelt on Mt. Rushmore, Franklin Delano Roosevelt again comes in first, by a wide margin (65.4%). Barack Obama came in second (11%), followed by a three-way tie between Dwight Eisenhower, James Madison, and John F. Kennedy (4% each)

Idiots.

They also asked the "experts" to say who they thought was "most overrated" and "most underrated."

Jimmy Carter is the most under-rated president, selected by 64 respondents and earning a 2.2 average (1 is a “most under-rated” ranking). Ulysses Grant is the second-most under-rated (56, 2.4), followed by George H.W. Bush (47, 2.9), Eisenhower (45, 2.8), Lyndon Johnson (43 (2.3), and Biden (42, 2.9). Conversely, John F. Kennedy is considered the most over-rated president, selected by 84 respondents and earning a 2.4 average (1 is a “most over-rated” ranking), followed very closely by Ronald Reagan (83, 2.1), then Jackson (70, 2.3), Wilson (60, 2.9), Jefferson (37, 3.3), and Teddy Roosevelt (40, 2.5).

Kennedy is indeed overrated, but it took them 50 years to realize it. Maybe in another 50 years they'll realize they overrated Obama.

And Reagan overrated? Not if Biden, Kennedy, and Obama are judged better than he is.

The "overrateds" indicate the folly of the question. By the time "experts" decide someone is "overrated" they've already downgraded and underrated him.

Reagan was originally low in the polls and rose as respondents realized their mistake. Now he's falling again and they think he is overrated.

But Jimmy Carter as most underrated? Ridiculous. The "experts" forget more than they ever manage to learn.

Trump last and Biden ahead or Reagan. Only in a poll of Communist Party USA members.

So ridiculous that it wasn't worth posting.

Mr. Trump might not care much what a bunch of academics think, but for what it’s worth he fares badly even among the self-identified Republican historians.

Really?....Both of them?

Historians: self-appointed arbiters of the truth.

Ever notice how there are always opposing versions of current events which are hotly contested? Whereas, in the history books, the ‘historians’ all agree on one version, and everyone seems OK with that?

What happens to the dissenting opinions?

As I always say - the fake news of today becomes the fake history of tomorrow.
Or if you prefer - the fake news of yesterday becomes the fake history of today.

Well, I’ve only got what thing to say to the “historians”. Two things really. Get off the drugs and we Americans are going to help President Trump push the eject button on Joe Pedo’s Pine Nut Stairlift and catapult his ass clear out of our White House.

I’ve got a feeling these “historians” are also some of Joe Pedo’s student loan deadbeats whose bills he “forgave” while he was doing his impersonation of Jesus Christ.

Wow! Talk about out in left field! Who actually picked this field of presidents...a kindergartener? Certainly couldn’t have been a student of history, but we need to get this person on Life, Liberty,& Levin so his choices could be explained. This would make a very interesting program.

It comes as no surprise the PC Revisionists in Academia love the tyrant Lincoln and hate Trump.
