Regarding the letter “Ranking Biden and Trump” (April 5, TribLIVE), on the rankings of our presidential leaders: Look, I’m not here to endorse Donald Trump or Joe Biden. In fact, we are in quite a quandary with these two guys as our choices. But could this ranking poll be a little biased?

The Presidential Greatness Project Expert Survey are opinions of members and former members of the American Political Science Association, plus scholars throughout the U.S. I’m not a betting man, but I believe the over/under of Democrats to Republicans on this poll is close to 11 to 1. And most likely these Democrats are very liberal.

This poll is like asking 100 fourth-graders what’s a better meal, a McDonalds Big Mac or a filet mignon from the Capital Grille?
