Historians’ greatness ratings are uncorrelated with presidents’ vote margins

Evidence

In a sense, these ratings are only another aspect of presidential appeal, to historians rather than to voters. In fact, though, the correlations between the summed Maranell study ratings and the percentage of vote and margin of victory measures were essentially zero. At the very least, then, rated greatness is different from voter appeal. — John T. Jost and Jim Sidanius, Political Psychology, 1348
