What would you guys feel are accurate/adequate PM Economic and PM Social Ratings of our Presidents from Theodore Roosevelt to Barack Obama? I'm just curious to see how they all compare.

I mean by this, for example, my own rating:
PM Economic:   -5.94
PM Social:   -2.26

That's what I mean by the PM rating.

The trouble with this kind of activity is that most of the earlier Presidents would score as Socially Conservative with our questions, simply because of how the US has moved to the left on those issues.

George W. Bush would be +10 economic and +9.92 social, because he was diametrically opposed to me.

I made this not too long ago, going back to Ike:



There's not a single right answer for what a figures PM score is, and the further back you go the harder it is. You run into problems such as that protectionism gives points to the left side of the economic spectrum when in the first half of the century it was more the position of the right, and the fact that the issues that are discussed change over time.  But it's fun to guess at.
