Additional Presidential Rankings accorfding to CBS
(1/1)
rustybayonet:
Long - but to me interesting. I posted the presidential rankings back in July of 2014, based on the reviews of those listed, today I see a CBS ranking for comparison. - Because of the dates mine only had 42 rankings, both mine and theirs did both terms of Cleveland together. I think you will see many differences - I put theirs to the right in red
after reading the polls of;
Schlesinger 1948-1962 / Murray-Blessing survey of 846 historians in 1982 / Chicago Tribune poll 1982 / Siena 1982,1990,1944, & 2002 poll / Ridings-McIver 1996 poll / C-Span 1999 poll / Wall Street Journal 2000,2005 poll / and a popular opinion done through Washington College poll, I totalled their findings and divided by 8 for an average.
I posted this before, but here are those results - personally I don't agree with all ......
1. Abraham Lincoln [ranked without finishing 2nd term] 1
2. George Washington [both were less than .01% difference] 2

Libertas:
O-Hole 11, Blythe 14...L-BJ 9! Bwuuuhaahaaaa! What a joke!
And both Coolidge and JQ Adams IMO get unfairly knocked down most lists...
JFK still too high if objective to accomplishments or lack thereof...the camelot BS still lingering in some...though for those clingers JFK would not today win a primary let alone high office since he would be worse than a Blue Dog Democrat...
And in no way shape or form should those corksuckers Wilson & FDR be ranked that high...unless one is rewarding the destruction of the Republic as Founded!!!
My two bits FWIW...
