Earlier this year I participated in a PragerU survey ranking America’s presidents based on a variety of factors. I have participated in these kinds of surveys before, but this approach was different. Prager U sought the input of scholars whose viewpoints are often overlooked by left-leaning ideology.

“We reached out to scholars and experts from fields such as history, law, government, media, and politics; 155 took part in the survey. Instead of using rigid formulas or preset category weights, participants rated each president on a 0-10 scale, judging them within the unique circumstances of their time.”

It probably wouldn’t surprise you to know that George Washington topped the list followed by Abraham Lincoln. It might surprise you, however, to learn how high Calvin Coolidge ranked.

“Respondents were asked to keep in mind key principles: adherence to the Constitution, national prosperity, sound foreign policy, and the difficulty of the challenges faced. The final rankings come from the average of all those individual scores,” PragerU explained.

You can see the survey results and take the survey yourself.

Notes per PragerU:

• Two presidents, William Henry Harrison and James A. Garfield, were not included in our rankings, given the brevity of their terms and the inability to judge their effectiveness in carrying out their agenda. 
• We did not include Donald Trump because his tenure as president is ongoing and, therefore, cannot yet be judged in its totality.
