First Lady Melania Trump – who’s only made rare public appearances at President Donald Trump’s side during his first 100 days in office – has the best approval numbers of anyone in his administration.

The first lady received a plus-13 rating – with 30 percent of respondents viewing her very favorably and another 15 percent viewing her somewhat favorably.

Those numbers are identical to her husband’s – but she tops the list because her unfavorables aren’t as bad.

Twenty four percent of respondents rated Melania Trump very unfavorably, while 8 percent had a somewhat unfavorable view of the first lady.

At the same time, 42 percent of those polled view the president very unfavorably, with another 9 percent holding a somewhat unfavorable view of the commander-in-chief.
