It wasn’t too long ago that America celebrated the birthdays of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln as separate holidays. Now, those events have been merged together as Presidents Day, and it’s celebrated on the birthday of neither man. Still, it seems appropriate to note that Abraham Lincoln is viewed favorably by 91% of American voters while just 4% hold an unfavorable view. George Washington gets positive reviews from 84% and negative reviews from 7%.
Another deified founder of the nation Thomas Jefferson is seen favorably by 80% and unfavorably by 9%. Jefferson was better known for writing the Declaration of Independence than his time in the White House, but his presidency was consequential as well.
