A majority of Republicans say President Donald Trump is a better leader than President Abraham Lincoln, a new poll showed.

In the Economist/YouGov weekly tracking survey, 53% of Republicans said Trump was a better president compared with 47% who chose America’s 16th president, who led the nation through the Civil War.

Among all Americans, Lincoln beats out Trump 75% to 25%, with the vast majority of Democrats and independents choosing Lincoln.
