Rasmussen Poll: Candidates' Wives Are Important

Three out of five American voters (61%) say their perception of a presidential candidate’s wife is at least somewhat important to how they vote...
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 22% of voters say it is very important. Only 11% say it is not at all important.

Video here.
The current First Lady, Laura Bush, is regarded favorably by 75% of the nation’s voters, with only 21% rating her unfavorably.
By contrast, Michelle Obama... is rated favorably by 48% and unfavorably by 42% of voters. That latter figure includes a startling 25% who have Very Unfavorable opinion of the potential First Lady. A statistically comparable 24% view her Very Favorably. Ten percent (10%) are undecided.

Cindy McCain... earns favorable reviews from 49% while 29% offer an unfavorable assessment. She is viewed Very Unfavorably by only 10% of voters while 17% have a Very Favorable opinion of Mrs. McCain. In her case, 22% remain undecided.


I've heard that the Obama campaign has hired consultants to work on Michelle's image. None too soon, I would think!
