The Gipper’s still got it. On the eve of President’s Day, dedicated to George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, a new poll finds that if Uncle Sam were to OK another federal holiday for a president, it should be named for Ronald Reagan. John F. Kennedy came in second.
In order for presidents most favored go get their own presidential holiday, according to Rasmussen Polls:
— Reagan, 22 percent.
