New poll reveals how popular Melania Trump is compared to other First Ladies

A new poll ranking America’s First Ladies has ignited fresh debate — and the results may surprise many. While some past First Ladies remain widely admired years later, Melania Trump lands in a more complicated middle ground amid a sharply divided public. The survey of 2,255 Americans compared her with iconic figures such as Michelle Obama and Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, setting a high bar from the start. Long seen as an enigma, Melania has kept a notably private profile despite global attention, especially compared with the intense and often polarizing spotlight surrounding her husband, Donald Trump.
