Tully....I was refering more to the aftermath of the '60 election.

In 1961, Kennedy recorded poll numbers in the 80s....not seen by any President since then. And this was even while the Dems had actually lost seats in the House in the '60 election and JFK taking on (albeit, half-heartedly) the highly controversial issue of race relations and support of Eisenhower's Vietnam policy.
