I'm not sure there's any way for this poll to be accurate. Too much potential for nostalgia.

There should be a "none of the above" or "they're all tied" or "multiple" option.

Thanks, Ronnie.
Ronnie couldn't count his jelly beans by the time the 90s came around. Hell, he couldn't count them in the last half of the 80s.

I voted 90s, and the only reason I didn't vote 10s (which I would have) is because they aren't over yet, and so I don't feel it should be in the poll.

Things started to go downhill during the G.W. Bush era, then Obama came along and everything spiraled out of control.

Crime peaked in the 1990s, and politically correct, feminism, more mass immigration and globalization, being mired in the middle east, gun bans, worse music and fashion etc. The 1990s was beginning the repeat of failed 1960s meddling policies and undoing the progress to normalcy made during the 1980s.

I believe things started to go socio-politically downhill with globalist G. H. Bush I and with Clinton onward much more steeply downhill.

Agree. For once we weren’t fighting some kind of endless un-winnable war. Our biggest national “problem” was Bill Clinton getting a BJ in the Oval Office.
