Polling shows the approval ratings of President Biden and First Lady Jill Biden have declined in tandem, mirroring the diverging fortunes of Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
A recent YouGov poll found 33% rated Jill Biden poorly compared to 25% who saw her as outstanding, down significantly from early in Biden’s term.
In contrast, Melania Trump’s approval has risen from 36% to 52% two years after leaving the White House.
While approval often increases for former presidents, Trump has benefited more during this election cycle while pinpointing problems like inflation under Biden.
Melania Trump has been deployed more as a surrogate for her husband and has privately advocated for policies like immigration and Tucker Carlson as VP.
The diverging trajectories of the Biden and Trump couples appear linked to views of their husbands’ job performance as president.
