(CNN)Melania Trump will be exiting the White House with the lowest favorability rating of her tenure as first lady, according to a new CNN poll.

At 47%, more people have an unfavorable view of the first lady now than at any point since CNN first asked about views of her in February 2016. The poll, conducted by SSRS for CNN, puts Trump's favorable rating at 42%, with 12% of those asked answering they are unsure of their feelings about the first lady.

Trump's highest favorable rating was in May 2018 at 57% according to a CNN poll taken at the time, which came on the heels of the first state dinner and Trump's attendance at the Texas funeral of the late first lady Barbara Bush. Trump went to the funeral without President Donald Trump.

However, by December of that year, public opinion of Melania Trump had fallen by double-digits following her solo trip to Africa. At that time, her favorability was at 43% and her unfavorable at 36%, according to a CNN poll conducted at the time.

1. All that matters is that they're departing.

[NoMoreRepugs]

2. Melania who???

[comradebillyboy]

3. Melanoma just isn't very likeable. In fact she's rather loathsome.

She never had a clue about her obligations as first lady.

[srose58089]

4. I don't care. Do You?

[Biophilic]

5. Serious question; what has she ever done that would make her likable? nt

[Harker]

34. I had hope when she slapped away Trumpsky's hand...

but that was before I knew anything about her.

[Biophilic]

35. Oh, yes, me too. Same problem. We didn't know her yet.

[Arne]

6. She certainly had a lot of derogatory nicknames.

Even Trump welcomed her home as Melanie.

[Cozmo]

11. I got a few more that I will keep to myself and my immediate family

[jrthin]

14. Other than skank, Melanie is my next favorite. nt

[catbyte]

7. No way! Who'd a thunk it? 🙄 😂

She's been the most worthless First (Third?) Lady in my lifetime. Her obvious distaste for "the little people" shone through loud and clear, as was her heartlessness at the plight of children separated from their parents. Her #BeBest anti-online bullying "campaign" was a sick joke. But paving over Jackie's Rose Garden was the last straw for many Americans.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

[netrace]

8. Have always referred to her as first trash around our household

[keithbvadu2]

15. Good one!

[COL Mustard]

9. Don't Go Away Mad, Melanoma

Just please, go away and never come back. And take your disgusting husband with you.

[Rebl2]

10. I don't really

care. Do you?

[ResistantAmerican17]

12. Dust off that profile in the mail order bride catalog Melanoma. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

[MrsMatt]

37. Can't. She's past her shelf life.

Expired.

[ResistantAmerican17]

39. But she had her "kidneys" fixed a couple of years ago and her face is newish.

[Marthe48]

13. I had no respect ever

I often ask people if they want to see her naked and offer to share one of the many links to her lewd displays.

She wears ugly clothes, which reflects her ugly interior. (decided I can't use heart or soul to describe the her personal 7th circle of Hell)

[femmedem]

16. When people heard the recording of her saying, "Who gives a F*** about Christmas stuff?"

it didn't fit with her supporters' view of her as an elegant first lady.

[Rebl2]

44. That should

have pissed off every evangelical that voted for trump, but seems like that majority didn’t care.

[not fooled]

50. They were apparently OK with her posing nekkid

after that, saying F- Christmas barely registers, I guess. War on Christmas!

[twodogsbarking]

17. Gross

just gross.

[NurseJackie]

18. She's a mail-order bride. Trashy. Tacky. Classless. Plastic. Stuffed. Plumped. Filled. Siliconed...

... and gross.

[2naSalit]

45. Mail order bride...

Brokered by Epstein. There's just so much credibility there!

[NurseJackie]

48. Trump like's 'em young.

(And related.)

[Dawson Leery]

19. Mail order hooch leaves Whitehouse.

[Ziggysmom]

20. That's what happens when you go from the whore house to the White House LOL

[2naSalit]

46. +1

[apnu]

21. The FLOTUS typically has high approval numbers

Here's an interesting article with various ratings of various FLOTUS' from Jackie Kennedy forward.

https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/then-and-now-first-ladies

Here's the final numbers for different FLOTUS to compare to Meliana

FLOTUS at exit that I could mine from the article:
Jackie: 67%
Pat Nixon: 54%
Betty Ford: 71%
Rosalyn Carter: 59% (Oil Embargo dragged her down)
Nancy Reagan: 53% (Iran-Contra dragged her down)
Barbara Bush: 77%
Hillary Clinton: 74% (Boosted by Lewinsky scandal, has interesting history because of her policy involvement)
Laura Bush: 76%
Michelle Obama: 68%

[niyad]

27. I am trying to think, in vain, of anything babs did to merit that kind of approval.

[apnu]

29. She did nothing and kept appearances of American Exceptionalism

She made Americans feel good about how they were doing in America during a crappy economic time.

That and her literacy program was very non-partisan and extra feel-good fluffy.

I always thought Laura Bush was ripping Babs off with her reading campaign.

On Edit: Which just goes to show how low the bar is for FLOTUS approval. And yet Meliana is the first FLOTUS to leave with a negative approval number. She's so dumb and mean, she tripped on a curb that is 3" high.

[niyad]

31. I know it was during useless son's term, but her comments on the Katrina survivors will

always be what I remember about her. That, and her pearls.

[NYC Liberal]

33. Laura did have a masters in Library Science though. So I don't think her

reading campaign was just a rip off. She was a librarian well before she was First Lady.

[niyad]

30. I don't see Lady Bird on that list.

[nwliberalkiwi]

22. Despicable

White Trash the whole family!!!

[CTyankee]

23. I lilke a First Lady who doesn't pose for nude photos...

Just sayin'.

[twodogsbarking]

24. She is still mad about the house

falling on her husband.

[Baked Potato]

25. I'm so glad we won.

[niyad]

26. I am trying, in vain, to think of a single thing she has done that merits approval.

[rickford66]

28. What did her kidneys rate ?

[Blue Owl]

32. Feels good to throw out that trash

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

36. She's a birther who came to this country under questionable circumstances

I'm told she speaks several languages fluently. English isn't one of them.

[Cha]

38. Worst "lady" did Nothing but carry

water for Death & Destruction.. Gaslighting her way through.

[TNNurse]

40. Just as long as she leaves.

[sandensea]

41. Be best, dahlink.

Not worst!

[twodogsbarking]

42. It wouldn't surprise me if

there are a lot of new cherry trees at Mar a lago.

[joanbarnes]

43. I dont really care, do you?

[Jetheels]

47. I like First Ladies that don't do porn.

[Blue_playwright]

49. Little known fact...

... she’s the first departing FLOTUS whose boobs a high percentage of the American public has seen.

[Mike Nelson]

51. I think...

it would Be Best for her to leave.
