Lincoln Dismissed In Today's Progressive World. My POW.

[RJNorton]

Emilie, your post made me think back to a poll I saw in USA TODAY (one of widest circulated newspapers in the United States).

Several years ago that paper printed the results of an Abraham Lincoln poll on the front page at the bottom left corner of the front corner. If memory serves me correctly, the results were:

97% Approval

3% Disapproval

I found it almost incredible that one man would have such a high rating among Americans. I do not know how the poll was conducted, whether it was nationwide, or the size of the number polled. But I doubt any other American president could approach such a result.
