Washington Examiner

A majority of Republicans believe President Trump is a better leader than Abraham Lincoln, who guided the nation through the Civil War.
The Economist and YouGov conducted a poll from Nov. 24-26 of 1,500 American adults. In the wide-ranging poll, researchers asked Americans to compare Trump to past U.S. presidents.
Fifty-three percent of Republicans said that Trump is a better president than Lincoln. For Democrats and Independents, Lincoln is considered to have been the better president with 94% and 78%, respectively.

Republican adults were the only segment polled that considered Trump to be a better president than Lincoln.
Researchers conducted the poll days after House Democrats wrapped up the first round of public hearings in the impeachment proceedings into Trump. Democrats may decide to conduct more hearings after Thanksgiving or pass impeachment articles against the president, which would lead to a trial in the Senate.
The public hearings have done little to shift Americans’ thoughts on impeachment. Public opinion has remained split largely along party lines.

While that shouldn't be an impressive stat, it is. Props to Trump and I completely agree.

The Democrats constant attacks on Trump have inoculated his supporters. No fricks given.

I agree with this poll.
Anyone who's willing to let well over half a million human beings die just to keep a ragtag band of states in the country he presides over is not someone I will respect.
Embarrassing a genocidal man like Abe Lincoln was the first Republican President.
I'm so proud that we have a President in Donald Trump who hates war and does everything he possibly can to avoid it.

Trump is also a better parent. Lincoln's kids are all dead. Trump's? Alive and kicking. Lincoln never lettered in shite.

Trump hasn’t put 10,000 people in jail for saying things he doesn’t like and he hasn’t suspended habeas corpus, so he’s got that going for him.

Trump is way better than Lincoln. Lincoln dragged his country into a civil war because he was anti-self determination, just like the British were in the Revolutionary War and like SWB is now with St. George.
The South should have been allowed to secede peacefully as any state should. If the majority of the people in that state vote to break away, let them.

Well, Lincoln is possibly the worst president ever, so they aren’t wrong.
Posted on 11/29/19 at 11:54 pm to Sentrius
Well, they're right

Lincoln was the greatest enemy and threat to the Constitution in US history... until 2008. Fact.

A perfect prototype of Trump Athoritarian Syndrome.

That's a pretty good indication of just how good a president Trump actually is. I mean none of us lived in Lincoln's time to actually judge for ourselves. We have to base that opinion on history books and what we were taught, not experienced. No doubt there were some little things about ole Abe that pissed people off just like there are with Trump but we never read about those. So, knowing how biased historians can be that write our history, I'll go with Trump also.

Well he is considering Lincoln’s war of northern aggression and his raping of the constitution.

Some interesting things hidden in that table.
Republicans constituted less than 30% of the sample size.
603 of the responders were from the South, 338 from the West, and less than 300 from the North or East.
Despite sampling 512 Democrats only 471 in the poll claimed to vote for Hilary in 16. Despite only having 410 Republican voters 437 claimed voting for Trump.
76% of the poll were registered voters, but only 64% mentioned voting Hilary or Trump.
Likely implications:
Donald Trump being considered better than Lincoln is probably overstated in this poll due to small sample size and overrepresented Southerners.
Democrats had poor turnout in 2016, and probably didn't have a ton of Independent appeal.
More people voted for Trump than said they were Republican. By definition he was pulling in Independent voters, and likely had good Republican turnout.
The disparity in registered voters to actual voters implies people either stayed home for the polls or didn't want to state who they voted for. Given the D and I slant of this poll, both of these are likely positive for Trump.
Mitigating Factor:
1500 is a shite sample size for a political poll.
