President Trump's polling dream has become a reality. A new Economist/YouGov weekly survey says 53% of Republicans consider Trump a better president than Abraham Lincoln, compared to 47% for Honest Abe, the Hill reports. But across parties and independents, Lincoln still wins by a firm 75% to 25%. Maybe the Economist wanted to test Trump's 2018 boast to the Sun that he was "the most popular person in the history of the Republican Party. Beating Lincoln. I beat our Honest Abe."
What he meant was unclear, but at the time he also tweeted that "over 90%" of Republicans gave him a thumbs up, making him "the most popular Republican in [the] history of the Party. Wow!" That was nearly an accurate reflection of a Gallup poll that gave him a 90% approval rating among Republicans—making him the GOP's most popular modern president save for George W. Bush just after 9/11, the New York Times reported. (A recent poll finds a new order among Democrats.)
