Dallas authorities briefly detained a suspect named Jim Braden who was spotted in the Dal-Tex building around the time of the assassination, but he was released after questioning.

21. THE PEOPLE'S PRESIDENT
1. For more information on Kennedy's enduring popularity, see Costas Panagopoulos, "Ex-Presidential Approval: Retrospective Evaluations of Presidential Performance," Presidential Studies Quarterly 42, no. 4 (December 2012): 71929. Panagopoulos shows that Kennedy, of all presidents since and including FDR, had the highest average approval ratings during his presidency (80%) and one of the highest postpresidential approval ratings (88%). Roosevelt, whose average approval during his dozen years as president was 66%, had slightly higher postpresidential ratings than JFK (91%).
2. A score of 710.
3. It should be noted that this was an openended question asked at the start of the survey, without any comprehensive list of presidents presented to prompt respondents. People had to rely on their memories, and most simply named a recent president they liked.
