Not particularly so. A reliable Democratic voter who's not a very religious Catholic and someone who pulled themsleves up by their bootstraps and detests Kennedy's 'elitism' and likes that Nixon is self-made and thus backs Nixon in 1960.

A reliable but moderate Democratic voter who's not a very religious Catholic and someone who pulled themsleves up by their bootstraps and detests Kennedy's 'elitism' and likes that Nixon is self-made and thus backs Nixon in 1960 (backs Nixon in 1972 for the same reasons so many Democrats did - they thought McGovern was too extreme).
This voter went to McGovern in 1972 and Humphrey in 1968

Ah, my mistake. Then pretty much exactly what I said minus the words 'but moderate' and minus what I wrote in brackets.

My great grandmother was a strict Catholic, but voted straight Republican from 1940 until her death in 1965 at the age of 66. She particularly hated John F. Kennedy and felt that he was a fake Catholic.

Which makes sense honestly, both Humphrey and McGovern came from a more humble background then Jack Kennedy.

A black voter who trusted Nixon more than Kennedy on civil rights.

Long shot but maybe an extremely conservative Catholic who was mad that Kennedy said he wouldn’t take orders from the pope.

Someone in Boston who knew the Kennedy's personally and had a feud with them, but otherwise had average NE Catholic political views in that era.
