C-SPAN presidential survey

I tend to take these surveys with a bit of skepticism, but they're fun.

C-SPAN has come out with its latest version of presidential rankings. The slide show summary linked from that page is the fun part, especially page 9 ( Read more... )

What surprises me is that he didn't rank #49 or #50! :p

Look at the bright side! His highest rank (#24 for "Pursued Equal Justice for All") is still in the bottom half. I'm not exactly sure how he ranked highest in that category (anti-gay marriage amendment, anyone?), but at least he's not, say, in the top 10.

This ranking is biased!........ He's obviously ranked much much too high...

I'm puzzled Reagan and Wilson are in the top 10.

These surveys are always a snapshot in time. Reagan's high ranking is a case in point. Ever since his Alzheimer's disclosure, Reagan has been the subject of hagiography all out of proportion to the facts. But that seems to be changing, in part thanks to a new book called Tear Down this Myth. Reagans ranking will drop.

Interestingly, Grant jumed up 10 places from his previous ranking.
