I'm an old guy... born just before JFK took office, so my answer is Eisenhower.
My wife was born during JFK's presidency.

I hope nobody here was born after Clinton's presidency :lol

you can say if you were born during first or 2nd terms also for presidents who had multiple terms.

You need to put George W. Bush on there for Winehole and ChumpDumper. They certainly didn't come alive until he was president, anyway.

I guess starting this poll is more fun than just asking "how old are you?"

How Old are You threads have been done before probably. Plus this thread makes people have to google a list of presidents to see who was pres. when they were born.
I would put money on the fact that many people would not know without looking it up.

I'd like to think you are wrong, but based on the idiocy of today's high school students, I wouldn't bet against you.

plus the fact that a lot of people don't like telling their age. I don't give a crap about telling my age, but others do (especially the women...). Saying who was president when you were born, gives people a 4 to 8 year time frame for their age.

I was born during the tail-end of Eisenhower, so I'm still in my 40s.

2 Democrats ago (aka Carter) for me. Not really surprisingly, over 40% so far from the 70's Presidents.

Seriously.

Considering that there's been what? at most 10 presidents in the life of most posters in here, I find it hard to believe that they wouldn't know who was in office at the time. Especially in the context of things...

and I'm not even American.

In fact, when I did this poll, I googled a list of presidents myself... I wasn't sure if I came into the world during JFK or Eisenhower... I had never really been interested in it before. (wasn't sure if JFK took office in '60 or '61).

If I asked my wife who was president when she was born, I would be shocked if she knew right offhand.

Why would people? It's not like that is something within their period of experience (unless the Pres served two terms that the person was alive for). I can remember every president starting with the one AFTER I was born because I can remember those times. The list of Presidents was never all that big of a deal in school. Unless a President either did something big, or something big happened during his term, it just doesn't seem important to the vast majority of people, including teachers.
