Obviously, I have no first-hand experience to speak from, but I can't help but think that there's likely to be some systematic bias involved in asking exclusively people over 65. I'm not claiming I know specifically what it is, but it seems overwhelmingly likely. It may have something to do with their 40s being the most recent previous "era" of their life; they're so far removed from the person they were when they were 20 and 30 that it's just not fathomable to go back to that.
I don't necessarily know what it would be, but I'd take the results of the poll with a grain of salt, especially considering this contradictory link.

I asked my wife's grandfather on his 88th birthday: Forget the mirror, how old do you feel on the inside? His answer: 33. As a 48 yo, I gotta tell you I wouldn't believe I'm mentally past 22 without the mirror. But maybe that just means I'm incredibly immature. :)
