George Washington
Of course, the list would not be complete without the very first President of the United States. Another founding father, George Washington held the position from 1789 to 1797 and he was a key figure in the establishment of the US government. He led the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War and has earned the 2nd spot on the list of the best US presidents.
Abraham Lincoln
When he was in power from 1861 to 1865, Abraham “Abe” Lincoln left behind an impressive legacy. During his time in power, he accomplished a great deal of milestones. The 16th President of the United States, he started the fight for slavery abolition and led the Union during the Civil War. In 1863, Abe passed the Emancipation Proclamation, which set into motion the framework for slavery abolition thanks to the 13th amendment. Unfortunately, his life was cut short by an assassination in 1865, and he did not live long enough to see the fruits of his hard work. Nonetheless, the survey revealed he continues to be the greatest POTUS in the eyes of the general public.
