I think I am around the median age for this board and Reagan was basically when I was in K-8th grade. Some of you guys are older than me and maybe were in high school or college but without doing a person by person search some of you guys are talking about Reagan's policies that you lived through at age 3!

I never was old enough to vote for or against Reagan, but I think you are classifying our age group a little unfairly if you think we were not able to see or understand the effect of his administration. Even the same thing for Carter. It is not like when we were adults we only started understanding things without any concept of the previous 10 years.
The Poll was who was the best president in your lifetime. What you want is a different poll called something along the lines of "Who was the best president that you could have voted for" perhaps, which of course would then limit the discussion for most of this board to only 3 presidents to choose from and be somewhat boring and pointless.
