US EditionMelania Trump Hits Record Low in CNN/SSRS Favorability Poll
Harry Enten said CNN/SSRS data shows her net favorability is 12 points underwater, the worst recorded for a modern first lady.
- On Thursday, CNN data analyst Harry Enten reported that First Lady Melania Trump holds the lowest net approval rating of any First Lady since polling began, standing 12 points underwater.
- Compared to previous First Ladies, Melania's popularity has declined sharply from a positive three-point rating just over a year ago, whereas Nancy Reagan maintained a 50 percent positive approval rating historically.
- Critics suggest the poorly received Amazon documentary 'Melania: Twenty Days To History' contributed to her decline, though supporters argue the polling reflects intense media bias against President Donald Trump.
- Enten stated the American public 'really don't care for' the First Lady, citing her 2018 Zara jacket worn in McAllen, Texas, as a lingering point of controversy.
- Analysts view the polling data as reflecting broader political grievances against the administration, while observers also note her tendency to avoid the public spotlight as a contributing factor.
