How will history judge President Donald Trump? One day, we’ll have an answer, thanks to C-SPAN’s Presidential Historians Survey.
The 2017 version, which polled 91 historians, saw several presidents rise and fall in the rankings. Historians evaluated them based on 10 qualities of presidential leadership, including economic management, international relations, crisis leadership, public persuasion skills and whether they pursued equal justice for all.
And of course, President Barack Obama was added to the lineup for the first time this year.
