FROM LA TIMES: It seems the First Lady Michelle Obama is experiencing the same drop in poll numbers as her husband.

She’s not elected, of course, but a new Rasmussen Reports survey finds that only 55% of Americans have at least a somewhat favorable opinion of Mrs. Obama. That’s down 7 points, or 11%, since November’s survey and it’s her lowest approval level since holding the Bible for her Democratic husband, Barack, to take the oath of office on that cold D.C day back on Jan. 20.

Her approval rating is perhaps more interesting than other first ladies because she played such an active and sometimes controversial role in her husband’s $750-million campaign, including leading the Chicago delegation to Copenhagen this fall in its unsuccessful bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Declining approval rates for both could indicate not only a general falling out of love with the couple.

Mrs. Obama’s highest approval since Rasmussen began monitoring the first lady’s public standing last winter was 67% and her previous low was 57%.

    I’m not sure how accurate this “survey” is or is not. Who cares? I absolutely L-O-V-E the way Mr. President shows his appreciation and love for his “First Lady”. I myself love her to death! She’s class personified, a mommy, and First Lady of the greatest country in the world. I’m not sure what people expect of her but only her husband was elected – not Michelle. Given the sometimes blatant hatred, death threats, etc. received since the election – I don’t blame the President for limiting her public role. Why take a chance on some racist sc** causing a threat to the First Family? Things are not like it was with previous administrations – all white – their wives did not face much chance of violence at all but the Obama’s do. Enough said. I’m sure with her outstanding private accomplishments she wants desperately to do more but it is not safe for her at all and I don’t need to remind any of you why.

    Let the “media” try to ruin her image by planting their trash and lies because it’s what they like the rest of the filth in this country do – try to separate us and take us down, but only fools and haters believe this crap. Will this racist s**t ever end?

There are not too many black role models out here…nah scratch that..there not too many role models out here…What some people dont understand that President Obama came in on Bush’s 8yr mess…a mess he has to clean up…Why we cant give President Obama and his wife a chance? Its terriable and its a shame..Michelle Obama is to many is a mother to some that dont have mothers..Michelle Obama will always be my role model.

    I bet it’s only the white folks talking about them. Michelle is a beautiful woman and her husband is very handsome. I think the white folks are jealouse because they are both physical fit. Her arms are very muscular, And Mr, Obama has a six pack. He also has wagger lol.

    I want to know why must we give into the ingnorance in regard to her raitings being up or down. Why must we even pay any mind to Scott Baio’s negative comments. Why must give life to the stupid words latino wrote earlier. The media wants something negative to say about this couple because they are the face of change. They seem to forget we had eight horrible years of the bush administration. Mr. O has to clean up someone else’s mess. Not to mention prior to him Clinton one and so forth. It will take years to get ride of the debt, the lack of trade we do and producting of goods of which is the reason for the slump in our economy. The saddest thing is that the american people are so ignorant that before passing judgement they do not do the research. Our problems will not be fixed simply because of the party the person represents. It will be fixed once our government decides do do an overhall on the laws, the people wake up and make them accountable for there poor choices. Hell we are not on the gold standard anymore because we gave that to help china’s money worth something, then sold our patent to produce and forgot about investing in scientist and inventors and lost our footing. Then clinton came up with the bright idea to outsource our jobs . Simply to help big greedy business that do not produce anyting to outsource their paper pushing jobs. Come the hell on do not use that to distract the poll of approval in regard to her. Wake up america and pay attention to real issuse. Stop letting the media and gossip about unecessary things help you past judgement. The only thing they hate is that she is educated, classy, hard working, stands by her husband and probally is a good mother. She does not bow down to anyone white or black or feels she needs to please. That is the problem the media and white america has with Mrs. O. They want to keep pusing this poll s**t to distract you from reasearching the facts, and real issues. Hell we exspected hey we voted this black man lets see him make magic quick. How can he when we do not give him a chance and do not realize it is going to take at leat twenty years to fix this fd up country. Not one not four not eight. That it does not matter the party they represent our entire government is dissapointing. If folks remember history he does not run the country alone….
