A majority of Republicans believe that President Donald Trump is a superior leader to President Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, according to a new poll conducted by Emerson/YouGov.
Fifty-three percent of those surveyed said that Trump was a better president compared to 47 percent of Republicans who said they believed that Lincoln, who served as president from 1861 until his assassination in 1865, was the superior leader of the U.S.
While Trump is the favored president among Republicans, the numbers are far different when all Americans – regardless of party – were surveyed. Seventy-five of all Americans polled in the Emerson/YouGov weekly poll said that Lincoln was a better president than Trump. Ninety-four percent of Democrats felt that Lincoln was superior to the 45th president, while 78 percent of Independent voters surveyed preferred the 16th commander in chief.
