...the floor horizontally?

Ignore the trolls. That is a difficult on to answer as it depends on a few factors, but I can at least describe it in general. When you are pushing against a wall, you are not fighting gravity in the horizontal direction. However, there is some force as you are moving the mass of your body. On the floor, you are moving your mass against gravity, so that's why the force is much greater.
The angle will be important. Something of a 45 degree angle with effect the force to roughly 70% of the horizontal position (based on the sine of 45 degrees).
Hope that helps.
