Trump Crushes Reagan, Lincoln as Republicans' Most Admired President: Poll

Harry Enten said the result shows Trump’s grip on Republicans remains strong even as his approval ratings with the broader public stay near record lows.

  • On Wednesday, CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten reported that Republicans admire President Donald Trump far more than past party icons Ronald Reagan and Abraham Lincoln.
  • Polling from CNN and Elon University shows 53% of Republicans named Trump as their most admired president, with Reagan trailing at 18% and Lincoln at a distant 8%.
  • Trump maintains a 100% success rate endorsing non-incumbent Senate candidates this year; New Hampshire Republican Senate candidate John Sununu holds 97% odds in prediction markets.
  • Recent surveys from the Angus Reid Institute and Reuters/Ipsos show his public approval at record lows—34 percent and 33 percent respectively—contrasting sharply with GOP base loyalty.
  • As the party approaches the 2026 midterm elections, Trump's grip on Republican voters remains insulated from his difficulties with the wider public, positioning him as central to GOP strategy.
