Highest favorability ratings of any incoming First Lady since 1980


We may not be able to fully figure her out just yet, but so far, what we see, we apparently like. A New York Times/CBS News poll shows that Michelle Obama has the highest favorability ratings of any incoming First Lady since 1980; 46 percent of those surveyed had a favorable opinion of her, while 7 percent had an unfavorable view.
Perhaps most importantly, however, many see Michelle Obama as a symbol of a woman — a black woman, no less — who truly can have it all. From The Washington Post: "Ultimately Obama’s appeal has everything to do with our own hunger. Some want to see a family. Some want to see the engaged career woman making a difference. Some want to see an egalitarian marriage. Some just love seeing black love."
