Melania Trump approval rating revealed as she addresses Epstein ties

Melania Trump
  • New polls reveal Melania Trump is the least popular First Lady ever, with her approval ratings described as "historically awful."
  • Her current approval rating is -12, a significant decrease from +3 in January 2025.
  • These poll results were released before her White House statement on Thursday and are unrelated to her denial of connections to Jeffrey Epstein.
  • CNN Senior data analyst Harry Enten noted that other First Ladies, such as Michelle Obama, Jill Biden, Hillary Clinton, and Laura Bush, all maintained net positive approval scores.
  • Potential factors contributing to her unpopularity include a controversial jacket worn in 2018 and the critically panned documentary "Melania: Twenty Days To History."
