As the country celebrates Presidents Day, a new White House poll shows that there is really only one dominant recent chief executive — Donald Trump.
In a timely Rasmussen Reports survey shared with Secrets on Monday, the 45th president tops both the “best” and “worst” lists, a remarkable finding that also revealed how politically split the country has become and prompted Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) today to call for a “national divorce.”

Asked who is the “best” of recent presidents going back to Bill Clinton, Trump came out on top with 36%, followed by Barack Obama at 30%, George W. Bush at 9%, and Clinton and current President Joe Biden at 8%.
We need a national divorce.
We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government.
Everyone I talk to says this.
From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrat’s traitorous America Last policies, we are… https://t.co/Azn8YF1UUy

Then asked who was the worst president, Trump was on top again, at 41%, followed by Biden at 39%, Obama at 5%, Bush at 4%, and Clinton at 3%.
The polling was greatly influenced by partisans, as most of the recent political surveys have been.
It was conducted because today is Presidents Day, although Rasmussen found most aren’t into the symbolism of the day. Overall, 48% said it ranked somewhere between the nation’s most important and least important holidays.
But it revealed again just how divided the country is.
Greene highlighted that in a tweet today, calling for a “national divorce.”

She wrote on her private account, “We need a national divorce. We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government. Everyone I talk to says this. From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrat’s traitorous America Last policies, we are done.”
Afterward, she told Secrets, “People are so fed up and disgusted with Democrats that they want red and blue states.”
And she added, “This is a very real issue. And I’m going to keep pushing it because we have had enough of the Left’s intrusion into every facet of our lives.”
