    Kennedy is the most popular president. The people love a leader with a bullet through the skull. If a president wants to be popular they should follow in Kennedy’s footsteps.

      I have a feeling it has a lot more to do with his good looks and womanizing than his policies, and I suspect a great deal of it might be “well he must’ve been pretty good if they felt the need to shoot him”

        Him getting killed halfway thru the term meant he couldn’t do a lot more terrible things for which he could be remembered

        JFK’s popularity is from 60 years or hagiography

      Legitimately true, he wasn’t very popular at the 1960 election

      JFK won the reported national popular vote by 112,827, a margin of 0.17 percent

      Also very good for the next person

      LBJ won the largest share of the popular vote for the Democratic Party in history at 61.1%. As of 2024, this remains the highest popular vote percentage of any candidate since the advent of widespread popular elections in 1824.

    How is Herbert Walker even on this list. He was just an earlier version of Biden.
