Melania Trump ranks as second least-popular first lady

Only one first lady ranks lower in public perception than Melania Trump: Hilary Clinton. A YouGov survey recently asked Americans to rate the 11 most recent first ladies, and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis came out on top by a wide margin, with Michelle Obama second. Hillary Clinton had a -17 perception, while Melania Trump came in at -16. “Opinion of first ladies generally is politically polarized in a similar way to opinion of their husbands,” YouGov notes, adding that half of Americans give Donald Trump a “poor” rating, the most of any of the 20 presidents the poll mentioned.
