Description: "Unlike public polls that tend to reflect the mood of the moment, the rankings in this book are based on explicit, objective criteria. Each president receives a score in Foreign Relations, Domestic Programs, Administration and Intergovernmental Relations, Leadership and Decision Making, and "Personal" Qualities. These scores provide the basis for an overall ranking of presidential performance, as well as a discussion of America's most overrated and underrated chief executives."--BOOK JACKET.
