The following presidential polls are parimary sources. It goez against WP:PRIMARY to interpret from a random selection of polls that Benjamin Harrison is generally ranked as a below-average president by historians, when these sources do not make that observation. Per WP:OR, we should stick with what secondary sources say about Harrison's reputation. The secondary sources that actually make that analysis say that he is not ranked as a below-average President; i.e.:

Because of his lack of personal passion and the failure of anything truly eventful, such as a major war, during his administration, Harrison, along with every other President from the post-Reconstruction era to 1900, has been assigned to the rankings of mediocrity. He has been remembered as an average President, not among the best but certainly not among the worst.
