Amazon reportedly paid $40 million for the documentary’s filming rights, which was released in January. It has received mixed reviews; however, Melania herself was indeed very happy with the movie’s outcome.
“I’m very proud of the film so people may like it, may don’t like it, and that’s their choice,” she told CNN shortly before the release of the documentary. “We achieved what we want to achieve. For myself, it’s already successful. I’m very proud of what we did.”
New poll reveals what Americans think of Melania Trump as first lady
While Donald Trump has struggled in the polls heading into the midterms, many might wonder how Americans view Melania Trump. A recent YouGov poll might give a hint.
It reads that the poll “was conducted online among 2,255 adult citizens on two separate 2026 surveys from February 2 – 5 and February 3-5.”
YouGov explained, “A random sample (stratified by gender, age, race, education, geographic region, and voter registration) was selected from the 2019 American Community Survey. The sample was weighted according to gender, age, race, education, 2024 presidential vote, 2020 election turnout and presidential vote, baseline party identification, and current voter registration status.”
So what did the poll say? Well, it turns out that Melania has a -16 approval rating, which is lower than the previous first lady, Jill Biden (-9). Still, Melania has a higher approval rating than Hilary Clinton, who polled at -17.
Other First Lady’s has considerably higher approval ratings. Nancy Reagan stands at +25, Lady Bird Johnson at +23, Rosalynn Carter at +32, and Barbara Bush at +21. Michelle Obama got +21, and Laura Bush got +19.
Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis most popular
However, the one who did best by far is Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, the First Lady and the wife of President John F. Kennedy. She was the first lady from 1961 to 1963 and had an approval rating of +56, according to a YouGov survey.
Melania’s approval rating was higher among Republican voters than among Democrats.
