QUESTION TWO

On the same questionnaire, the second thing that I asked goes as follows:

To what degree do you think presidents from years ago have an impact on us today?

• 1- No impact at all
• 2-Slight impact
• 3-Moderate Impact
• 4- They do still impact us today
• 5- We can definitely still feel the impact
• Write your own answer

I gave the option for people to write their own answer just because I did not want to limit them to the five traditional options, and to my surprise, most chose that option. The most frequent answer that I received written in was “It depends on the president.” They thought that some lesser known presidents had (and still have) a smaller impact on us today than some of the more well known presidents, which is understandable to think so.
