Washington Examiner

quote:

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.

Compare and contrast Obama's and Clinton's military service to Trumps.

Interesting fact I just saw, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams were two of many Presidents who didn't serve in the military. And both of those gentlemen were of the age to serve as officers, in all likelihood. In the American Revolutionary War.

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.

Neither of them avoided the draft by claiming a fake medical condition.

Well, Lincoln is possibly the worst president ever, so they aren’t wrong.

Splitting already thin hairs on that claim. Clinton's situation isn't even by the slightest of margins any "better" than Trump's.
