A new national poll from the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion shows First Lady Michelle Obama is viewed favorably by 65 percent of Americans, while 23 percent see her unfavorably. From Marist:

Mrs. Obama’s favorability rating is consistent. When Marist last reported this question in October, 63% of registered voters in the United States thought well of the First Lady. 21%, however, had a less than stellar impression of Mrs. Obama, and 16% were unsure.

“The First Lady may be the president’s best asset,” says Dr. Lee M. Miringoff, Director of
The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion. “With numbers like these, expect her to
have a high profile on the campaign trail.”
