Donald Trump is not the only one that left the White House with a record-breaking disapproval rating. Melania Trump is officially the least popular first lady in polling history.
According to the latest CNN/SSRS poll, the former first lady ended her term with a 47% unfavorable rating and an approval rating of 42%, which still makes her more popular than her husband, who left office with a 33% approval and 60% disapproval rating, per a Quinnipiac University poll.
"The 47% is the highest unfavorable rating we ever recorded for [Melania] Trump. It's also amazingly high from a historical perspective, the CNN report, which was published before the Inauguration of Joe Biden but after Melania's farewell address, reads.
According to CNN, these numbers are particularly unusual. Traditionally, first ladies are nearly uniformly admired. The position is unelected and normally uncontroversial, reporter Harry Enten writes. It's hard to be unpopular.
