Abraham Lincoln and Jesus are Very Popular
"2 people managed to beat [Aaron] Rodgers by exceeding the 90% mark for popularity [in Wisconsin]. Abraham Lincoln is seen positively by 91% of Americans compared to only 2% with an unfavorable opinion. And Jesus Christ has a 90% favorability rating with only 3% of voters seeing him in a negative light. With Republicans Jesus is at a 96/0 spread, which suffice it to say is a first in our polling.
As impressive as Jesus and Lincoln's numbers are, the person Americans expressed the highest opinion of in our poll is...themselves. We asked the question 'Do you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of yourself?' and 93% gave themselves a positive rating to only 1% with a negative one. We are a psychologically healthy nation...or an arrogant one...you can probably argue that whichever way you want."- Public Policy Polling
