BREAKING: A new poll has just revealed that Melania Trump is the second least popular first lady in recent history, with Hillary Clinton taking the top spot as the most disliked. This urgent update comes from a survey conducted by YouGov, which gathered responses from 2,255 U.S. citizens earlier this month.
The findings show that a staggering 36 percent of respondents rated Melania as “poor,” and an additional 10 percent classified her as “below average.” In contrast, only 18 percent rated her as “outstanding,” resulting in a net approval rating of -16. The only first lady to rank lower than Melania was Clinton, with a net rating of -17, as 33 percent of respondents rated her as “poor.”
This poll highlights significant public sentiment as Melania’s documentary, Melania, recently opened to $7 million in ticket sales, but fell sharply to $2.4 million in its second week. Amazon reportedly spent $40 million to acquire the rights and an additional $35 million on promotion.
The survey also revealed that Melania is not alone in her unpopularity. Donald Trump, her husband, received a dismal net rating of -20, with 48 percent of respondents rating him as “poor.” In comparison, his predecessor, Joe Biden, garnered a net rating of -3, with 38 percent of respondents labeling him “poor.”
Interestingly, the poll suggests a trend where first ladies generally receive higher ratings than their husbands. Among respondents, Michelle Obama stood out as a favorite, with a net approval rating of +21. Notably, 33 percent rated her as “outstanding,” while only 22 percent considered her “poor.”
In a historical context, Jackie Kennedy and Nancy Reagan also received favorable ratings of +56 and +25, respectively. The poll indicates that opinions of first ladies are often as politically polarized as those of their husbands, reflecting the deep divisions in American political sentiment.
As Melania’s documentary continues to attract attention, these poll results paint a complex picture of her public perception. With significant financial backing and a mixed reception, the future of her media endeavors remains uncertain.
Stay tuned for more updates as this story develops, and see how public sentiment may shift in light of the ongoing discussions surrounding Melania Trump and her contributions as first lady.
