I wouldn’t describe the American Political Science Association as a flash poll on CNN.

A historian 30 years from now will see them about the same.

I’m pretty sure historians 30 years from now are still going to learn how to differentiate source quality.

Yes, and at that point, both sources will be meaningless in the context of who the most hated president is.
They will also be meaningless because the same polls were not carried out during previous presidencies, so there is nothing to compare them to.
