Yeah, no on this sorry this article is bullshit... Trump is a bad guy and was a bad president but Andrew Jackson ordered the Trail of Tears and forced over a hundred thousand people to walk into desert concentration camps.
This is absolutely unprecedented for Fox News to publish. Normally they're praising the Republican Party so hard that you could see their political bias from space. Has Hell frozen over or is this some kind of editorial fuck-up that's going to make heads roll?
Imagine admitting that Barack Hussein Obama, the 44th President of the United States, was the sixth-best president in US history.
They're reporting on the results of someone else's survey; so they can protest indignantly.

even Republican participants in the survey viewed him [Trump] as being among the five worst presidents
and yet republicants are still lining-up to lovingly change his diaper and vote for him.

These results are interesting, though the article does note that the overall results seem to map along party lines for mote contemporary presdients (with notable exceptions, like Clinton.) In case anyone wonders, the polling pool was:
"...current and recent members of the Presidents & Executive Politics Section of the American Political Science Association ... as well as scholars who had recently published peer-reviewed academic research in key related scholarly journals or academic presses."
So, not a general survey in case anyone wonders.
Edit: I do wonder how balanced this survey was, though... if Obama was 6th and 15h and Biden was 13th among Democrats and 30th among Republicans, and nonetheless 14th overall, it does suggest that the poll was heavily skewed toward Democratic respondents. Nothing wrong with that, just food for thought.
Wait, so you're saying the scholars... the people who actually study things and know what they are talking about... skew towards a favorable view of democratic policies??? That's weird, must be a conspiracy.
