Reading backwards (sort of), the poll suggests that the 1950's were the most popular. Or least disliked, if that makes sense. It was the period of the Korean War, the military draft, McCarthyism, the cold war, Jim Crow, the Berlin wall, polio epidemics and poodle skirts. What could be worse than that? Maybe most of the people who responded to the poll weren't born yet.
