WASHINGTON, March 31 (UPI) -- U.S. residents' favorable view of first lady Michelle Obama was at 76 percent, a 28-point upsurge since the summer, poll results released Tuesday indicate.
A Washington Post-ABC News survey said the number of people who view Mrs. Obama negatively plummeted, with the biggest turnaround coming from Republicans who viewed her negatively last year, in part because of comments she made about feeling proud of her country for the first time. Just before the inauguration, 47 percent of respondents identified as Republicans had a positive view of Michelle Obama. In the recent poll that number increased to 59 percent.
Since the inauguration, the first lady's overall favorable rating has risen 4 points to 76 percent.
Obama's favorable mark nears former first lady Barbara Bush's high mark of 85 percent in Gallup polling conducted near the end of her husband's term, and is close to Laura Bush's top Gallup Poll rating of 80 percent favorable, which she achieved when her husband was inaugurated for a second term.
The Washington Post-ABC News nationwide telephone poll was conducted by TNS of Horsham, Pa., Thursday through Sunday among 1,000 adults. The margin of error is 3 percentage points.

...me thinks the numbers might be juuuust a bit low
But I am far more frightened of the ill disguised fanaticism of Michelle Obama. Her resentments against America have been more than once expressed on camera. On another occasion, I recall she betrayed that if her husband ever got power, but America would never be the same. I sense a Kool-Aid drinker.
Here is a leap in the game of armchair psychology. I believe she is angry and fanatical as a compensation for her undeniable failings even in an affirmative action environment.
I think we should thank God that she is not the president.
Exactly! Not in today’s environment with the thugs that are his supporters.
I am so tired of polls and ZERO’s wife being shoved at all of us how lovely she is because she is not different then the person who made the racial comments against whites. No one attends that racist church for 20 years and is a “lovely, nice” person. Not going to happen. Anyone with a heart and sould would have run away from Rev Wright.
POPULAR WITH BED WETTING LIBERALS AND NO BODY ELSE! ! ! !
Polling took place at mental hospital....
U.S. residents’ favorable view of first lady Michelle
What part were they favorable about?
**Poll: Michelle Obama’s a hit**
NOT!
A Washington Post-ABC News survey no kidding.
Note Hillary was liked more when she did what MO is doing- keeping a low profile, avoiding controversy. A bet MO would have had bad numbers during the campaign, when she was saying tacky unpatriotic things.
