During a July interview with The Independent, US President Donald Trump bragged that according to polls, he was the most popular person in the history of the Republican Party. The US president, however, didn't specify which poll he was talking about.

A newly released poll by The Economist/YouGov has shown that a majority of Republicans think Trump is a better president than former President Abraham Lincoln.
