dc_dux is your OP piece alittle biased? I guess George Mason U doesn't think there ever was a failed democratic presidency?
Mike... I have no idea of the political bias of the 400+ historians who responded to the GMU informal unscientific survey.

In any case, I would suggest that the concept of a "failed president" is a subjective measure likely to be influenced by personal bias or experience. Your benchmarks are no more or less valid than mine or any historian.

I wont suggest that the results of the TFP poll (currently: 73% failure, 27% success) validate the GMU survey
