Sorry, no. The first of the boomers would be eligible to vote in 1965. The supermajority of the boomers would have been able to vote by 1975. By 1957 the Baby Boom was on the way out.

No, the “boomers” are the generation born from 1946 to 1964, followed by generation X starting in 1965.

The first presidential election that all the boomers could vote in was 1984 to reelect Reagan.

Lets not have one of those silly, time consuming niche, or personalized definitions of boomer.

The common definition, the government definition, the Census Bureau definition, the one used by banking and corporations , and everyone in America that needs to share a common definition, uses 1946-1964.
