In The Battle For First Lady, Michelle Obama Is The Hands-Down Winner
There are times when even I buy into the mainstream media narrative. Perhaps I read too many blog comments, but I really was beginning to believe that Michelle Obama, as charming as she is, is considered a divisive figure while Ann Romney is some sort of patron saint to stay-at-home moms. Well, as it turns out, not so much. The First Lady is about as universally beloved as it gets these days and Romney’s following is, in blogger terms, meh. A CNN/ORC poll released Tuesday, shed light on more than just the battle of the wives. It also told us that Ms. Obama’s husband is far more liked than Ms. Romney’s.

In the poll, Michelle Obama enjoyed a whopping 71% favorability rating. Ms. Romney fared much worse with a 44% rating. 7% had never even heard of her and this is after she made headlines with the Hilary Rosen faux controversy. 22% of respondents had an unfavorable view of the First Lady while 43% had an unfavorable view of the woman who hopes to occupy the White House come January.
Interestingly, Mr. Romney had identical favorability/unfavorability ratings to his wife, while Mr. Michelle Obama got trounced by his wife while beating Romney by double digits. His favorable rating was 56% and his unfavorable, 42%.

Mrs Romney allowed her sociopath husband to put the family dog in a kennel, strap it to the roof of the car and drive 12 hours. I say put them both in prison not the white house. Barack and Michelle Obama will get my vote any day. Because they are charming intelligent decent human beings who really do care about this country and the people in it.
Michelle Obama is a well-rounded, intelligent, talented woman. That’s what happens when you get out and about in the world.
