On the Fact that LBJ Had a Higher Approval Rating Among Republicans than JFK (During Their Respective First Years as President)

 

This absolutely flabbergasted me in that Kennedy was a far more conservative President than LBJ. Of course we are talking about their first years in office and being that LBJ did have some rock-solid cred as a boll weevil Democrat while Kennedy was still a relative blank-slate (and a Northeasterner) it actually might make some sense after-all.
