Which of our 3 Illinois presidents do you prefer: Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan or Barack Obama?

The nation is celebrating the centennial of Ronald Reagan's birth Sunday, Feb. 6. President Barack Obama has had some nice things to say about his predecessor. Read what other media outlets are saying about the celebration and these two men and take our reader poll.


Quote
Abraham Lincoln 22.43% (264 votes)
 
Ronald Reagan 49.11% (578 votes)
 
Barack Obama 25.32% (298 votes)
 
None of the above 2.04% (24 votes)
 
Undecided 0.42% (5 votes)
 
Other: 0.68% (8 votes)

It' kind of a trick question, since Reagan is the only one from Illinois.

And only two of them have been actual presidents.  One just plays a role.  And not very convincingly.
