MO's approval rating reported in The Wall Street Journal

(via)
The 31% figure is a high for Obama in the WSJ/NBC News poll, with her previous high at 21% in early September. The number of voters who held a negative view of Obama has been cut in half since the September poll’s 31%.

Further, the vast majority, 69%, of respondents said that Obama is a positive role model for American women, a higher figure than former First Lady and New York Sen. Hillary Clinton ever received. Clinton peaked at 66% in December 1992 shortly after her husband former president Bill Clinton was elected to his first term. A minority, 16%, of respondents said they did not view Obama as a positive role model for American women.


HOW DO YOU FEEL?
In general, do you hav a favorable impression of the First Lady-Elect? (let BIFFLE know if you think this blog is full of crap!) But at least let us know why....

  1. I feel like the 16% of people who don't see Mo as a positive figure for females are those nationalistic nuts who only know of her "I'm finally proud to be an American again" phrase which ALWAYS gets used out of context!

    What better role model is there than a woman from a working class family with clear intergenerational mobility and then also intragenerational mobility because she's moved past her ascribed status?
