it is interesting how historians rate him at the bottom, at or near the worst, but his base of 40% still approve of the job he is doing.

If one asks 320 History nerds how a non-traditional President is doing. And only 170 reply, I am not sure their view matters that much.

The 2018 Presidents & Executive Politics Presidential Greatness Survey was conducted
online via Qualtrics from December 22, 2017 to January 16, 2018. Respondents were current and recent members of the Presidents & Executive Politics Section of the American Political Science Association, which is the foremost organization of social science experts in presidential politics. 320 respondents were invited to participate, and 170 usable responses were received, yielding a 53.1% response rate.

traditional academic A-F scale along five key dimensions: his presidency overall,
legislative accomplishments, foreign policy leadership, embodying institutional norms, and communicating with the public
