The founding father beat out both modern-day presidents among independents, with 72 percent who say he is better than Trump and 62 percent who say he is better than Obama.

Patrick Murray, who serves as the director of Monmouth University’s polling institute, said that there could be “a combination of factors at work” with a polling question like this.

“Democrats may be more likely than Republicans to be influenced by recency bias, valuing what they are familiar with over historical opinion,” Murray said. “It’s a fun question to ask, but I’m not sure what it means.”

The following poll was “inspired” by another recent survey which asked respondents whether Trump or Abraham Lincoln was a better “Republican president.”
