Approximately what percentage of the popular vote did Abraham Lincoln receive?
A
20%
B
40%
C
60%
D
80%
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The split in the Democratic party is sometimes held responsible for Lincoln’s victory despite the fact that Lincoln won the election with less than 40% of the popular vote, as much of the anti-Republican vote was “wasted” in Southern states in which no ballots for Lincoln were circulated.

Detailed explanation-2: -The national outcome of the 1860 election gave Lincoln a victory in both the popular vote and the electoral vote, with just under 40 percent of the popular vote, which totaled 1, 866, 452, and 180 electoral votes.
