Its somewhere in the recesses of my mind.
But here is an article from Time on naming JFK as the person of the year for 1961.
Quote:
During 1961, Kennedy suffered some major setbacks, including one, in Cuba, that might have ruined some Presidents. (Richard Nixon has said: "If I had been responsible for failing to make a critical decision on the Cuban business which would have brought victory, I would have been impeached.") Yet, his popularity has remained consistently high, seemingly unaffected by his vicissitudes. In the latest Gallup poll, 78% of the American people said that they approved of the way he is doing his job.

I think he lost a few points (down to 78%) after the Bay of Pigs fiasco.
