Minecraft wiki entry for Village, associated text: A player's popularity does not reset on death, and players cannot alter other players' popularity. Popularity is stored per village; a player may have high popularity in one village and low in another. The player cannot see what their popularity in a village is, but if the iron golems attack the player means that the player's popularity is -15 or less. Additionally, because popularity is stored per village, if the entire village is destroyed, any accumulated popularity, positive or negative, is also eliminated.
