Melania Trump's public standing has dropped to a level never seen for a modern First Lady, sinking so far underwater that CNN Senior Data Analyst Harry Enten called the numbers "absolutely awful" and historically unprecedented. Enten pointed to a steep decline in her approval rating over time. She stood at +30 in May 2018, slipped to +3 in January 2025, and has now fallen to -12 in the March 26-30 CNN/SSRS survey. Speaking on CNN News Central alongside anchor Kate Bolduan, Enten did not hold back. "I would say that the American people really don't care for Melania Trump," Enten said.
