Wait, Lincoln was the Republican candidate. In the 1860 election, Lincoln's popular vote percentage was approximately 40%? Wait, no, historical data: Lincoln received about 39.8% of the popular vote, which is approximately 40%? Wait, but looking at the pie chart, the segment for Lincoln (Republican) in Popular Vote: the pie chart shows 40%? Wait, the pie chart labels: 40%, 29%, 18%, 13%.

### For the second question (Electoral Votes percentage for Lincoln):
The Electoral Vote total is 303. Lincoln's electoral votes: the map shows Lincoln's states (blue) with electoral votes. Let's sum the electoral votes for Lincoln: the blue states. Let's count the electoral votes: CA (4), OR (3), NV (0, territory), WA (0, territory), then the northern states: MN (4), IA (4), WI (5), MI (6), OH (23), IN (13), IL (11), MO (0, Breckinridge? No, MO was Breckinridge? Wait, the key: blue is Lincoln (Republican). Let's sum the electoral votes for blue states: CA (4), OR (3), MN (4), IA (4), WI (5), MI (6), OH (23), IN (13), IL (11), NY (33), PA (27), NJ (7), CT (6), RI (4), MA (13), NH (5), VT (5), ME (8). Wait, let's add these: 4 (CA) + 3 (OR) = 7; +4 (MN) = 11; +4 (IA) = 15; +5 (WI) = 20; +6 (MI) = 26; +23 (OH) = 49; +13 (IN) = 62; +11 (IL) = 73; +33 (NY) = 106; +27 (PA) = 133; +7 (NJ) = 140; +6 (CT) = 146; +4 (RI) = 150; +13 (MA) = 163; +5 (NH) = 168; +5 (VT) = 173; +8 (ME) = 181. Wait, but the Electoral Vote total is 303. So 180? Wait, the Electoral Vote pie chart: the Electoral Vote total is 303, and Lincoln's electoral votes are 180 (as per the pie chart: the blue segment is 180, yellow 39, green 72, red 12? Wait, no, the Electoral Vote pie: the labels are 180, 72, 39, 12. Wait, Lincoln (Republican) has 180 electoral votes. So 180 / 303 ≈ 0.594, so approximately 59%? Wait, no, 180 divided by 303: 180/303 ≈ 0.594, which is approximately 59%? But wait, the pie chart for Electoral Vote: the segment for Lincoln is 180, total 303. So 180/303 ≈ 59.4%, so approximately 60%? Wait, but let's check the pie chart: the Electoral Vote pie has Lincoln's (Republican) portion as 180, total 303. So 180/303 ≈ 59.4%, so approximately 60%?
