First lady Melania Trump’s favorability rating has slipped in recent weeks, according to a new CNN poll released Tuesday.
The poll found that 51 percent of Americans view the first lady in a positive light, down 6 percent from a CNN poll in May. Her unfavorable rating hit 29 percent, rising 2 percent from last month.
The poll released Tuesday was conducted from June 14-17. The previous poll’s release came as President Trump battled allegations of infidelity to his marriage to Melania with the Stormy Daniels case heating up. At the time, she saw her popularity surge by double digits since a January poll.
Among Americans who have a positive view of the first lady, a majority are men. Fifty-six percent of men had a favorable view, while 46 percent of women did.
Trump is still viewed more positively than her husband. The CNN poll showed the president’s favorability rating dropped two points from May to 40 percent. He has a 55 percent unfavorable rating, according to the poll.
The study surveyed 1,012 respondents. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3.7 percentage points.
