    In the South, opinion about First Lady Michelle Obama has a lot to do with political affiliation, according to a new poll. Nearly 78 percent of Democrats had a favorable opinion of Mrs. Obama compared to only 26.2 percent of Republicans, according to the Winthrop University survey.

    Independents favored Mrs. Obama by 55.4 percent to bring her overall favorable rating to 53.2 percent.

    Among Democrats, only 18.2 percent were undecided about Mrs. Obama compared to 51.1 percent for Republicans and 26.9 percent for independents.
    The poll of 866 adults 18 years old and over was taken between Oct. 24-Nov. 7 in 11 Southern states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. The poll included respondents with cell phone and land lines. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.33 percent.
