Jaw-Dropping Poll Finds Trump Worst President Ever, But Best Among Republicans — TRIPLING Abraham Lincoln

By Tommy ChristopherFeb 13th, 2021, 9:43 am

A stunning new poll shows Donald Trump is considered the worst president ever by an overwhelming margin over his next competitor, but among Republicans he is considered the best president ever — by three times as many who chose Abraham Lincoln.

In the latest Economist/YouGov poll, respondents were shown a list of all past U.S. presidents, and were asked “Who was the worst President in U.S. history?”

Trump took the top spot by 22 points, with 46 percent naming him the worst president ever. Former President Barack Obama was a distant second at 24 percent. But President Obama topped the list of best presidents in U.S. history as well. In a much closer result, he edged out Lincoln, 18 percent to 17 percent. Trump came in third at 13 percent.

Among Republicans, however, Trump dominated at 36 percent, doubling the 18 percent who selected former President Ronald Reagan and nearly tripling the 13 percent who selected Lincoln.

1. if that doesn't define a no-nothing cult, I don't know what would!

[NoMoreRepugs]

2. I'm not sure how anyone can feel comfortable knowing

there are that many delusional people living all around us.

[Thekaspervote]

3. JMHO...anger towards their failed party and it's leaders is pushing this plus fear of change

Other things too hate for liberals, ignorance. Not sure how that equates to a win in coming elections

4. I wish I had more confidence in opinion poles these days

Or at least, in the people who participate in them. I’m not quite sure what I’m to infer from the fact that the orange asshole tops the worst and is THIRD on the best. But YouGov tops my list of trustworthy pollsters, even so.

5. well Democrats favored Obama over Lincoln by 2 to 1

and while not as delusional as the GOP it is sort of delusional as well.

7. Agreed

Obama was a good president - but Lincoln he’s not.

6. How does anyone rate presidents before their adult lifetime?

Only U.S. history grad students/professors know much about the past presidents in our history. Maybe some political junklies as well. So I don't know how anyone really votes in these things other than name recognition.

8. As the GOP continues to shrink, leaving the Trumpster Q-anons

as a larger and larger percentage, Trump's approval among them will continue to rise.

It's a self-reinforcing downward spiral.

9. The party of Lincoln is dead

[demigoddess]

10. Because they didn't see Lincoln on tv. otherwise how could they know

what Lincoln did while in office?

11. I'm more shocked by him getting double the Republican 'best' vote of Reagan

Lincoln is unpopular with some of the southern Confederate supporters, who are all in the Republicans (notable that the South region put Trump as 2nd 'best', while all others put Lincoln 1st (Midwest and West), or 2dn to Obama (Northeast)). And some other Republicans may think "history, who can say?" or just be ignorant.

But Reagan is recent, and held up by the mainstream Republicans as wonderful. You'd think he'd beat a guy who just presided over 400,000 deaths, whatever they think of impeachment. But it seems the deplorables don't give a shit - they like the overt bigotry of Trump, and that he hates the same people they do.

12. They're showing the wrong graphic. That one's from the 10 BEST presidents poll
