    That’s… kinda a useless question.

    Average 40 year old will have anywhere between 5 to 10 presidents in their lifetime. This is more of a history quiz than an opinion poll. How many presidents can you name? What did they all do?

      Yeah, if you polled a bunch of American History professors or other people especially qualified to think about the entire set of presidents then that might come across as a little more convincing.

        They did.

        The 2024 Presidential Greatness Project Expert Survey was conducted online via Qualtrics from November 15 to December 31, 2023. Respondents included current and recent members of the Presidents & Executive Politics Section of the American Political Science Association, which is the foremost organization of social science experts in presidential politics, as well as scholars who had recently published peer-reviewed academic research in key related scholarly journals or academic presses. 525 respondents were invited to participate, and 154 usable responses were received, yielding a 29.3% response rate.

          Well, this is what I get for not reading the actual article. I have no one to blame but myself.
