    Michelle Obama More Popular Than President: USA TODAY/Gallup poll

    First Lady Michelle Obama is more popular than President Obama, according to a new USA Today/Gallup poll. The day after the election -- almost one year ago -- Obama's ratings were higher than his wife's.

    Writes USA TODAY'S Susan Page, "A USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken over the past week shows a surge in positive views of the first lady even as her husband's ratings have eroded. Michelle Obama is now viewed more favorably than the president, and her standing is nearly 50% higher than Vice President Biden."

    The numbers:
    President Obama
    favorable 55%
    unfavorable 42%
    overall favorable on the Nov. 5, 2008 poll: 68%-27%

    Michelle Obama
    favorable 61%
    unfavorable 25%
    overall favorable on Sept. 5-7, 2008 poll: 54%-30%
