Presidential performance : a comprehensive review

"Presidential rankings emerged in 1948 when Life magazine published an article by the prominent historian Arthur M. Schlesinger, Sr., who had selected 55 experts on the presidency and asked them to rank the presidents. He arranged the results into categories of "Great," "Near Great," "Average," "Below Average" and "Failure," producing a substantial article that attracted wide public attention. His work and similar studies have not escaped criticism, however."
