I am late for this, since Presidents' Day was on Monday. It is intended as a combination of George Washington's and Abraham Lincoln's birthdays. George Washington's is on February 11, 1732 in the Julian calendar, February 22, 1732 in the Gregorian calendar, which we now use. Abraham Lincoln's birthday is on February 12, 1809. In 1968, it was made the third Monday in February for convenience in celebrating.

Biden vs. Trump is not a close call in historians' Presidents Day survey : NPR
The 2024 edition of the Presidential Greatness Project Expert Survey has Biden in 14th place, just ahead of Woodrow Wilson and Ronald Reagan. Trump comes in 45th, behind fellow impeachee Andrew Johnson and James Buchanan, the perennial cellar-dweller in such ratings due to his pre-Civil War leadership.

Aaron Rupar on X: ""This is infuriating in so many ways" -- Kayleigh McEnany is big mad about Trump being ranked as the worst president in history (vid link)" / X“A new ranking — and I’m going to add, in my view a highly questionable ranking — of presidents is turning heads after Biden came in higher than both Donald Trump and Ronald Reagan,” McEnany told Fox News viewers on Monday.

“The survey was done by the Presidential Greatness Project, who claim to be the foremost organization of social science experts in presidential politics. They may be the foremost example of the disconnect between ivory tower academia and real people,” McEnany said. “That aside, Abe Lincoln ranked first, okay, fair, then comes Obama at seventh and Biden came in fourteenth, actually beating Ronald Reagan who came in sixteenth, and Trump, dead last."
“This is infuriating in so many ways. 154 respondents, they are the ivory tower elites, who in no way represent the view of the American people,” McEnany added.

Partisan and ideological differences did not “tend to make a major difference overall”.Biden was placed ahead of Woodrow Wilson, Ronald Reagan and Ulysses S. Grant. Former President Obama was ranked No. 7, eight spots higher than when the experts were polled last year.
Trump received the lowest ranking in the survey at 45th, placing below James Buchanan at 44th, Andrew Johnson at 43rd, Franklin Pierce at 42nd and William Henry Harrison at 41st.
