Melania Trump Declared Least Popular First Lady Again: What's Behind Her Dwindling Approval?




Melania Trump Declared Least Popular First Lady Again: What's Behind Her Dwindling Approval?

https://okmagazine.com/p/melania-trump-least-popular-first-lady-low-approval-rating/


Melania Trump’s approval rating fell to 36 percent as critics cited her limited public role.



Dec. 31 2025, Published 7:33 p.m. ET


By multiple measures, Melania Trump’s public standing continues to plummet. According to YouGov polling, her popularity stands at just 36 percent, with more Americans voicing their dislike for her than showing support — 43 percent disapproved while only 18 percent described their views as neutral.

Melania Trump’s approval rating fell to 36 percent, according to polling data.


This figure reflects a significant decline compared to recent first ladies and even from Trump’s own standing when she departed the White House in 2021.

At that time, her approval already hovered around 42 percent, marking one of the lowest recorded for a first lady, as reported by The Print. By the end of 2025, that positive impression had further diminished.

Right up there with her disgusting spouse in the Epstein files. Gotta hide that extensive history including that she met krasnov through Epstein.

Disgusting lot of pedo-adjacent or worse fellow travelers.

Compared to the wives of Presidents Biden and Obama, she rates a -5 out of 10.

Michelle Obama is still around, as bubbly and positive as ever.

She is, without a doubt, the SECOND least popular asshole in the White House.

PLUS:

NEVER FORGET she's an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT.

C'mon, Steven Miller. DO YOUR JOB!!
