	Andrew Johnson is not a fair one. He was a Democrat but was elected as part of the National Union ticket in 1864 under a Republican president. He never claimed to be a Democrat while president and only rejoined the party later in life, long after his term as President was over. I don't think he should be on here either way.

	The only one I missed is James K. Polk -- I put Democrat, but the quiz says Republican. I was surprised by the answer, so I double-checked on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_K._Polk Turns out he was a Democrat. I think MCHamel above is correct that Lincoln was the first Republican.

	@criswell8: If you enter the wrong answer, it will show you that you entered what you put, but it will be in red text.

	7th percentile. Maybe I shouldn't do quizzes I know nothing about.

	The tricky ones are the post Civil War 19th century guys.

	@JimmyJazz25B: Not really, you just need to remember that all of them are republicans except Grover Cleveland.

	@MarkB: You can just type D or R - very convenient and stops you having to write out the full words.

	Not a bad score for a brit... guess work worked quite well! :)

	How do 6% of the people not know Obama is a Democrat? Scary.

	katipo12345:	Jul 20th, 2011 at 12:41 GMT	9 points
	This is awesome, this was one of the questions on a quiz show yesterday (Democratic US presidents). The show's called Pointless, and would be great for Sporclers. :)

	Could you please change this so entering "d" when the answer is "r" will show you "republican," not "democrat." (And vice versa.) After takings hundreds of Sporcle quizzes where the right answer shows up either when you get one wrong (for quizzes using this format) or at the end (for all other quizzes), it's very disconcerting and confusing for the wrong answers to show up. As far as I know, all the other recent "Some wrong answers will appear in red" quizzes have made it so that the right answer appears when you get one wrong, so I don't see why this one shouldn't.

	How could I miss James K. Polk when there's a song about him that starts, "In 1844 the Democrats were split"

	Murf1013:	Jul 20th, 2011 at 14:48 GMT	6 points
	@apbadogs: I'm guessing someone from outside the U.S. I'd say less than 1% of Americans are well versed in the parties of various heads of other countries.

	28/32 first time! I'm glad that history class I'm taking is really paying off

	Some handy tips for the American Presidency. Lincoln was the first Republican president, so anyone before him, could only be a Democrat on this quiz. After Lincoln/Johnson, the rest of the 1800s/early 1900s is all Republicans with a little Cleveland sprinkled in all the way up to Taft.

	@katipo12345 I love Pointless! You're right, it's a great Sporcler show. I've moved to the US now and I really miss it :'( I completely sucked at this quiz, although I soon got the hang of 'if in doubt guess Republican' and that seemed to serve me fairly well...

	JacketFan:	Jul 20th, 2011 at 20:45 GMT	4 points
	Good quiz. It helps to remember that Abe was our first Republican president. Thank you, 5th grade Social Studies teacher!

	NotThere:	Jul 20th, 2011 at 20:53 GMT	0 points
	Good quiz. I've always found the distinction between Republican and Democratic Presidents to be important as it distinguishes the Presidents that I loathe from the Presidents that I despise.

	tikkibelle:	Jul 20th, 2011 at 21:52 GMT	5 points
	@Smuch: 7% percentile today, 77% percentile tomorrow! All because you took the time to learn about something you knew nothing about ;)

	@jewsus i was humming that song as i came to polk. it also helped me with van buren. too bad cass lost the election of 1848, for it would have been ANOTHER that i would have gotten right because of that song.

	Icicle:	Jul 20th, 2011 at 23:56 GMT	-3 points
	This quiz isn't working for me. If I type in "r" where it should be a "d", it shows up as wrong, but tells me they were republican. Odd.

	Icicle:	Jul 20th, 2011 at 23:57 GMT	6 points
	Ignore my comment. It had already been noted.

	TheGeekyDreamer:	Jul 21st, 2011 at 02:42 GMT	2 points
	It helps to know that Jackson was the first Democrat.

	xyz789:	Jul 21st, 2011 at 05:00 GMT	5 points
	When I get it wrong, it should say the right answer in red, not show me the wrong answer in red. Don't you think?

	CraigBerger:	Jul 21st, 2011 at 09:25 GMT	-1 points
	here's an easy cheat: If the President sucked, they were probably a Republican.

	@VengefulQuaker Your Whigs are in the wig shop.
