Ranking of U.S. Presidents by historians

The notion that these polls are even close to unbiased is of course absurd. Academic historians share the same overwhelming one-sidedness in political affiliation that other academics have. The book "In Denial" talks at some length (with publication statistics supplied) about academia's treatment of communism, for example.

Odd to see Johnson up there in the top 20 all the time, he was awful. Ditto Wilson, arguably the more repressive president ever.
