Historical rankings of presidents of the United States - a big collection of rankings of the Presidents
I collected the ratings and I crunched the the numbers on them. I translated all the ratings into 0 = lowest and 1 highest, omitting the Presidents that each rater left rankers or was unable to rank.
The columns: combined ranking, President name, number of rankers, median, (3rd - 1st quartile), (max - min)
