>>Actually very few people realize that at the time of his assassination, JFK's popularity was at an all-time low. Upon his death, JFK became an instant hero. In death, he achieved a hero status far bigger than life, an image which has remained in the collective public mind throughout the ensuing years. Part of the reason for JFK's trip to Dallas was to marshall the party and boost his chances for reelection. I think it highly doubtful that he would have been reelected in 1964. I think it highly doubtful that he would have been reelected in 1964, the term relected is also historically interesting. No doubt Kennedy was officially elected, but historical case is strong and getting stronger with each year that the Dems under Kennedy and with the help of the Mob, stole the 1960 election. (I was surprised that this was part of the recent ABC special on JFK1's corruption - makes one think that by showing JFK1's corruption, they were subliminally making a case that Clinton's OK).
