United States – John F. Kennedy remains the most beloved President of the United States over fifty years after his tragic death.
As of February 2024, a Gallup poll conducted with 1,013 individuals in the United States indicates that Kennedy enjoys a public approval rating of 90%.
This is significantly higher than the 69% approval rating of Ronald Reagan and the 66% of George H.W. Bush.
Kennedy led the United States from 1961 to 1963, during a period of international political turbulence due to the Cold War and the Cuban Missile Crisis.
He demonstrated bold and inspirational leadership amidst challenging circumstances.
Kennedy wasn't only a visionary leader but also a highly charismatic figure.
He had the ability to engage with people from diverse backgrounds and inspire them to have greater hope for the future.
One of his notable achievements was the Apollo Space Program, launched in 1961 with the goal of landing a man on the moon before the end of the decade.
Upon achieving this goal in 1969, the program became one of the greatest successes in the United States during the 20th century.
Kennedy was also responsible for the formation of the Peace Corps in 1961. The Peace Corps was a volunteer program where Americans could assist developing countries in education, health, and community development.
Millions of people around the world have benefited from this volunteer program, serving as a model for others.
He became an idol and a symbol of American nationalism due to his extraordinary appearance, intelligence, and remarkable wisdom.
"Do not ask what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country," wrote Kennedy, according to the official website of President John F. Kennedy, which has inspired every American to contribute to the public good.
John F. Kennedy wasn't only the most popular President of the United States, but he also became an unforgettable icon.
He represents extraordinary leadership, optimism, and progress. He will continue to inspire future generations to dare to change the world.
