There is already a bumper sticker out there that says “Barack 2012, Michelle 2016,” spotted in the nation’s capital in the last month. In that mindset, consider new numbers just released: a Harris Poll gauging first lady Michelle Obama’s popular appeal among Americans, including a rating of her “job” performance and yes, a comparison with her hubby.

The numbers:

71 percent of Americans say Michelle Obama was a positive factor in President Obama’s re-election; 54 percent of Republicans and 89 percent of Democrats agree.

70 percent of Americans overall say Mrs. Obama has a positive influence on the president’s decisions; 39 percent of Republicans and 95 percent of Democrats agree.

65 percent overall give Mrs. Obama a positive review on “the job she is doing as first lady”; 33 percent of Republicans and 88 percent of Democrats agree.

47 percent overall say she is “the best dressed first lady”; 24 percent of Republicans and 67 percent of Democrats agree....

Sure, why not? I'll be in Singapore or the Philippines, something like that. You all enjoy.

Barf. She scares me almost as much as her husband. When she showed up at the Oscars all dolled up, well, that was the last straw!

MOOch 16...

I guess her “all this for a Flag?” comment was a big hit with the masses. Who woulda thunk it?

[Fzob]

That’s true for me. I despise OZero with about 99% of my being. I only despise Moochelle with about 90% of my being.

So she’s 9% more popular in my book.

I caught myself about to argue about lack of experience, but hey, we stopped caring about that that two elections ago.
This is a banana republic now.

"Michelle 2016? Almost half of Americans says first lady more popular than President Obama"

That really makes the progressive electorate look bad!

[factmart]

We will never see another rino or conservative in the white house. The dumb freepers and voters who didn't vote for Romney will never see anything president but a dem in their life. Obamacare alone was enough to vote against Obama.

Traitors all! The House will go dem in 2014. Mrs. Obama will be President in 2016. How that not voting for Romney looking now?

The only enjoyable part of that Dim primary would be watching Her Thighness and Moochie rip each other to shreds! I would put my $ on Her Thighness.

[Gay State Conservative]

Well,the high points of her career so far are a $300K/yr no show job,obtained after Osama gained political power and influence...and scoping out the very best $10,000/night Spanish resorts for vacations.

[Gay State Conservative]

I would put my $ on Her Thighness.

It was made very,very clear in the spring and summer of '08 that race trumps everything in today's Rat Party.

They still have their “principles” that they voted with! /sarc

[CrazyIvan]

A simple mistake. The pole asked who had the larger backside, not who had a larger backing.

[South40]

Some of the more kooky liberal members of my family have been debating who should be the first female POTUS. Some want the beast and some want the wookie. At least the beast has some real experience, not that that matters to the left.

And yes, I have family members who are crazy.

Michelle 2016? Almost half of Americans says first lady more popular than President Obama

IOW, ignorance is bliss.

We know less about her than we knew about BHO in 2008.

Yeah, she's a shoo-in!!



(This is the problem with allowing drooling idiots and the dead to vote!)

[ilgipper]

EVERY First Lady is more popular than their husband. Laura Bush always maintained high marks. Not sure about Hillary...strong negatives, but popular with the women’s rights crowd.

I’ll move. Done with MARXISTS.
