After a widely admired start in the White House, first lady Michelle Obama's popularity is falling and, if the current
downward trend in her approval ratings continues, could touch lows not seen since the scandal-tainted days of Hillary Rodham Clinton.
In a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, 50 percent of those surveyed say they have a positive opinion of Mrs. Obama. That's down from 64
percent in April 2009 and 55 percent in January of this year. The first lady's positive rating is barely ahead of her husband's personal-approval
figure, which stands at 46 percent in the new poll.
To me, it's amazing that anyone would wonder why her approval ratings would fall:
1) Lavish lifestyle in the White House while much of the country is suffering.
2) "America is a downright mean country"
3) "first time in my life I have been proud of my country"...
4) Expensive Spanish vacation, as well as 5 or 6 other vacations this year ....
I pretty mucy don't like elitists wherever they are.
