Was Johnson a good and popular President after Kennedy?
I've no idea.
That question predicates that Kennedy was a good President in the first place. He wasn't!!! - People seem to forget or overlook the fact that it was Bobby Kennedy, as Attorney General who planned the invasion of Cuba and Jack Kennedy who sanctioned it. Kennedy was the President who expanded the American involvement in Vietnam - barstewards the pair of them.
As for Johnson, it was he who escalated the war in Vietnam and sanctioned the use of Monsanto's 'Agent Orange' poioning of the Vietnamese forests leading to huge damage to the civilian population, who are even to this day are still blighted with chemical disfigurements and infant deaths.
