PROJECT OVERVIEW

PragerU's Presidential Ranking Survey 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. 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.
