Yes, many of his policies were quite unpopular - but who was going to beat him? Nixon, especially after losing as CA governor in 1962? Not a chance. Goldwater? More or less unknown, and too extreme to win only 20 years after “Saint” FDR. Who else could have won?
May I remind you that B. H. Obola won in 2012 despite EVEN MORE unpopular policies. Shows the power of the incumbancy.

While I was young at the time, may I remind you that the average American voter in 1964 was one heck of a lot smarter than the average voter today.
(I’m fairly certain I have scrapped more intelligent beings off the bottom of my shoe than the average voter today.)
