    In response to the question, “Which Republican president was better?,” more than half (53 percent) of GOP respondents answered “Trump,” while 47 percent answered “Lincoln.”

    Well "53%" would be "most", right?

    It would be slightly more than half. ‘Most’ generally alludes to being almost all of something.

    sorry jonny, you're wrong again.

    Definition of most
    (Entry 1 of 6)

    1: greatest in quantity, extent, or degree. example:the most ability
    2: the majority of. example: most people

    In the senate and the house the party with the "MOST" members is called the majority whether it's by one or more.

    If that stance somehow helps you to sleep better, I'm happy for you.

    Honestly not surprised. Appalled, but not surprised. Trump supporters largely favor the Confederate traitors over the Union.

    I don't know anyone who actually felt that Clinton or Obama were the best President in their life times, let alone all Presidents period. To think Trump is the best Republican President ever is either willful ignorance, racism, or trolling.
    But yeah, it is a sad state of affairs.

    More than anything it is proof of the collective intellect of today’s Republicans. Whenever you wonder “how the hell is he president?”, a poll like this one is your answer. People too dumb and/or uneducated to pick Trump over fucking Abraham Lincoln

    What I find even more odd is how Saint Reagan, who wouldn't like Trump, isn't apparently gone from their hive minds.

    The majority of conservatives are against higher education because a lot of money has been spent on messaging campaigns. This poll is proof that it paid dividends so I don’t see their efforts diminishing.

    I could ask what is meant by hive minds, But I don't think I will.
    I will ask, Which President;
    Trump
    or
    Lincoln,

    lead the nation into civil war?

    No much good in that mark.
