I think that quote was actually just in the movie, Knight. So it can be disregarded. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Boromir would by no means have said that anyway; put it down to another of the woeful character warpings of Peter Jackson's desecration.
I should think that the people would have mostly followed Aragorn, after his victory, his true person revealed and his work in the Houses of Healing. Everyone who knew he was made it pretty well known who he was at the end.

Course, anything could have happened. But I'd have thought that the overwhelming feeling would be with the King, whether or Denethor recovered sufficiently to hand over rule or not (one imagines him being locked up if he didn't, and Faramir taking his place anyway).
