My answers aren't adding up on the Conditional Code Challenge

Hi,

After having some trouble with this challenge, I went back and followed the teachers solution to see if I could get it to work. The quiz runs, but my answer's are not adding up at all. Could someone please look at my code and point me in the right direction?

// quiz begins, no answers correct
var correct = 0;

//ask questions
var answer1 = prompt("Name our 44th President.");
if (answer1.toUpperCase() === 'President Obama') {
   correct += 1; 
}
var answer2 = prompt("Name the President during the Gulf War?");
if(answer2.toUpperCase() === 'President Bush') {
  correct += 1;
}
var answer3 = prompt("Name the President who had polio?");
if(answer3.toUpperCase() === 'President Roosevelt') {
  correct +=1;
}
var answer4 = prompt("Name the President who could not tell a lie?");
if(answer4.toUpperCase() === 'President Washington') {
  correct += 1; 
}
var answer5 = prompt("Name our most current President who was impeached.");
if(answer5.toUpperCase() === 'President Clinton') {
  correct += 1;
}

//output results
document.write("<p>You got " + correct + " out of 5 questions correct.<p>");

//output rank
if ( correct === 5 ) {
  document.write("<p><strong>You earned a gold crown!</strong></p>");
} else if ( correct >= 3 ) {
  document.write("<p><strong>You earned a silver crown.</strong></p>");
} else if (correct >= 1 ) {
  document.write("<p><strong>You earned a bronze crown.</strong></p>");
} else {
  document.write("<p><strong>No Crown for you. You need to study.</strong></p>");
}
