Sixty percent of respondents in one poll considered Kennedy's the most appealing of presidential personalities. Kennedy's use of television displayed his public persona best. He used it to his advantage, clearly displaying his humor, wit, sincerity, and confidence.
Kennedy also enjoyed the image of a sophisticated and well-cultured family man. His public support for the arts and Jackie Kennedy's efforts behind the scenes made the White House a place where creativity was celebrated and encouraged.
Kennedy's image as a father of young children added to the public perception that he was a young and vibrant leader. One particular photo that reflected this public fascination was the image of five-year-old Caroline and two-year-old John playing in the Oval Office as Kennedy looked on.
