Mama's don't let your babies grow up to be...president?

A new Gallup poll shows the vast majority of Americans do not want their children to go into politics as a career. Sixty-four percent of those polled said they would prefer their children didn't chose politics as a career versus 31 percent who hoped they did.

"Most Americans would not prefer their son or daughter to go into politics as a career, and this preference has not changed appreciably over time even as Americans' frustration with the government has grown," Gallup said about the poll results. "Compared with other possible careers, politics ranks fairly low in Americans' pecking order."

The percentages were identical whether parents were asked about future plans for a son or a daughter. Gallup started asking parents about their sons going into politics as early as 1944 but didn't include daughters until 1993. According to Gallup, the high point for responders saying they would be in favor of their son going into politics was in 1965 when 36 percent supported that career path.

That year was the only time when more than 30 percent of Americans said they would support their child going into politics.

The poll was conducted June 20-14 and included responses from 2,048 adults.

What do you think? Would you want your child to go into politics? What if they opted to run as a member of a political party you didn't support?
