A survey has found that a majority of Republicans believe President Donald Trump is a better leader than Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president whose face is emblazoned on the $5 bill and penny.

A Economist/YouGov weekly tracking poll found that 53 percent of surveyed Republicans thought Trump was better while 47 percent believed it was still Lincoln, underscoring just how popular Trump is among his voter base less than a year before the 2020 election.
