The people have spoken and Melania is their favorite Trump

On the eve of the one year anniversary of President Donald Trump’s inauguration, a survey has revealed his wife is viewed more favorably by people than he is.

The poll included whether respondents viewed the most prominent members of the First Family ‘favorably’ or ‘unfavorably’.

In addition to beating out the Commander in Chief in the popularity contest, Melania Trump has also stacked up as the most popular person overall, according to an Economist/YouGov poll released on Friday.

The 47-year-old mother of Barron Trump, age 11, is the only family member included in the poll that is viewed more favorably than unfavorably.

And she’s the only one whose favorability rating has grown over the course of her husband’s first year in office, with a current rating of 48 percent favorable and 33 percent unfavorable.

‘Michelle Obama was also more popular than her husband in early 2010,’ analysis included with the poll results said.

‘That is typical of First Ladies, who frequently are liked more than their political husbands, even when many Americans evaluate them politically.’

In addition to the President and Melania Trump, surveyors also asked about attitudes towards Ivanka Trump, 36, Jared Kushner, Donald Trump, Jr, 40, and Eric Trump, 34.

Ivanka followed next, behind her step mother and her father, with a favorability rating of 41 percent, and an unfavorability rating of 42 percent.

She took after Melania in beating out her husband, Jared Kushner, 37, though by a much larger margin.

Kushner, who is her colleague as a Senior White House advisor, is now viewed 25 percent favorably and unfavorably by 44 percent.

That makes Kushner the least popular of the Trump camp.
