Melania Ranks Second Least Popular First Lady In New Poll

A new survey has found that Melania Trump is the second least popular first lady in recent US history — narrowly edged out by Hillary Clinton as the most disliked.

The poll, conducted by YouGov, surveyed 2,255 US adults earlier this month and asked them to rate the 11 most recent first ladies from “Outstanding” to “Poor.”

Melania Trump received a net approval rating of -16. Thirty-six percent of respondents rated her “poor,” with another 10 percent saying she was “below average.” Meanwhile, 18 percent described her as “outstanding” and 12 percent as “above average.”

Hillary Clinton ranked slightly lower, with a net rating of -17. Thirty-three percent of respondents said she was “poor,” and 11 percent rated her “below average.”

At the other end of the scale, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis emerged as the most popular modern first lady with a +56 net rating. She was followed by Rosalynn Carter at +32 and Nancy Reagan at +25.

Michelle Obama also performed strongly, earning a +21 net rating. Thirty-three percent of respondents rated her “outstanding,” although 22 percent still ranked her as “poor,” reflecting political polarization.

The survey also compared first ladies with their husbands. Melania Trump’s rating (-16) was close to that of Donald Trump (-20), who received the lowest overall rating among the 20 presidents included in the poll. Forty-eight percent of respondents described him as “poor.”

Joe Biden ranked as the second least popular former president in the survey, with 38 percent rating him “poor.”

YouGov noted that public opinion of first ladies is often politically polarized in much the same way as opinions of their spouses.

The poll was released as Melania Trump’s documentary Melania saw strong opening weekend earnings before a reported drop in ticket sales in its second week.

Key Takeaways

  1. Melania Second Least Popular
    Melania Trump posted a -16 net rating, with 46% rating her “poor” or “below average.”

  2. Hillary Clinton Ranked Lowest
    Hillary Clinton narrowly ranked as the least popular first lady with a -17 net rating.

  3. Jackie Kennedy Tops The List
    Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis led the rankings with a commanding +56 net approval score.

A former high class escort as first lady is very radical

Nonsensical comparison. As if any of the respondents know of or have heard of the certifiably mentally ill Mary Todd.

Nancy Reagan was a veritable airhead with her use of clairvoyants and astrologers, and she interfered in the White House. That's the woman who teamed up with Michael Jackson for her say no to drugs campaign. Sure thing.

Jackie O. was a media creation. No better than Melania.

I am not a fan of Melania, but she keeps a low profile, and does not meddle in affairs of state. She doesn't bother anyone.

Absurd.

By far, I prefer watching her bounce around in her heels, rather any of the previous 1st ladies. Sorry.

How many of these people polled know any history before the 2000s? These polls are dumb.

To me, she's about as appealing as roadkill. An empty pantsuit. I find it surprising supposed heterosexual men find her attractive. She looks cold and totally lacking in character. Got some ladyboy vibe working, too. She looks kind of manly to me, and since my Y chromosome drives me solely toward XXs, she does nothing for me. I'd join a Benedictine monastery, if she was the epitome of female-ness.

At the same time, I understand why Hillary beat her to the bottom, although Hillary is clearly infinitely more intelligent. Having had the pleasure/displeasure of meeting both Clintons, I found Hillary instantly unlikeable and Bill the kind of buddy you'd go out together for a few cold ones. He's also astonishingly intelligent, unlike our current willfully ignorant dunce.

one of the most pointless polls ever conducted ever

Wingate - good comments but 'roadkill' is a bit hard ! 'Singularly unattractive and exploitative' does it for me. 'Horrible' maybe.

Wow you have met them - not on 'Little St James' I'm sure ! (sorry).

I think Hilary's ok but can see how, one to one, she might grate. Your comment about Bill is interesting - yes a very talented Guy. But maybe Bill was too clever by half with the Ladies . . .

When they are investigated in the hearing, I'll be watching with interest. ATB

She is an absolute do-nothing first lady, she does nothing for the American people, she does not set an example on any level, her level of self-absorption is second only to her husband, and I would have to agree that she might be the second worst, just as I agree that Trump is the second worst president after Buchanan.

They are a truly dreadful couple and America would be so much better off without them. They suck a lot of oxygen and give nothing back in return. I think some people would refer to them as vampires.

Almost as worthless as the polling ahead of the recent Thai election? 😂

Don and Melania both seem to have similarly unpopular ratings according to recent polls. Both are a travesty and hugely incompetent.

Several presidents and first ladies had similar ratings, including Jackie O and John F Kennedy (+56 v +61), Nancy and Ronald Reagan (+25 v +22), Michelle and Barack Obama (+21 v +15), and Melania and Donald Trump (-16 v -20).

The poll found that 48pc of respondents believe Mr Trump is “poor” and 6pc say he is “below average”. Mr Trump received the lowest rating of any of the 20 presidents YouGov asked respondents about. Approximately 19pc ranked him as “oustanding”.

That's no lady, that's Trump's wife.

And there's no doubt she dislikes him huuuugely, they spend virtually no time together, she refuses to even live in the same city as him, and she simply wants access to the bank accounts, that's it. Talk about a transactional relationship. It is somehow fitting for the most transactional president in history.

I can only imagine as a woman what it must be like to see that ugly man naked, much less smell his horrific body odors. Sulfur?

To misquote Mrs Merton, "So Melania, what first attracted you to the multi-millionaire Donald Trump?"

If Trump was a truck driver, would she be with him ? That is the question ?

She may have been a third rate first lady, but she made a first rate second best in the unpopularity poll.
