What does polling tell us about Nancy vs. Michelle. Michelle in April 2009 had an approval rating of 79%. Only 8% held an unfavorable view of her. Among Republicans at that time she polled 65% approval and just 17% disapproval. Nancy Reagan in December of 1981 polled at 57% approval and well well over 20% disapproval. In August of this year Michelle Obama polled at 64% approval and 32% disapproval. Nancy Reagan a month before her husband left office was sitting at 53% approval and 31% disapproval. To be clear, Michelle Obama has been held in much better esteem than Nancy Reagan, Hillary Clinton and Rosalyn Carter.
You make a reasonable post like this with facts to back up your position and then rj makes an asinine post like above. They are immune to reason. I can remember talking to people who genuinely thought there was going to be a nuclear war if Reagan was elected. This movie, The Day After, was a very big deal and captured the zeitgeist of the early 80s.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_AfterThe Day After is an American television film that first aired on November 20, 1983, on the ABC television network. More than 100 million people watched the program during its initial broadcast.[1] It is currently the highest-rated television film in history.[2]
The film postulates a fictional war between NATO forces and the Warsaw Pact that rapidly escalates into a full-scale nuclear exchange between the United States and the Soviet Union.
