According to a recent popularity poll on AOL, Americans rated Abraham Lincoln as the nation's greastes president. The poll, taken just in time for President's Day, offers surprising results. The list of options people could choose from included all presidents since Franklin Roosevelt, along with some of the more famous from earlier in American histroy- George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Woodrow Wilson, Andrew Jackson, etc. When I took the survery, the question asked, "Who do you think was the greatest U.S. president?" It gave me these options- Washington, Raegan, Roosevelt, Kennedy, Lincoln, or other. I chose Washington, and the results favored Lincoln above all. The numbers were very different, and it was an interesting article.
