The more popular half of the White House's first couple is hitting the campaign trail.
Michelle Obama, who has largely avoided political events this midterm cycle, is slated to hold rallies and fundraisers for Democratic Senate candidates in seven states over the next two weeks, including stops in Illinois, Colorado, and Wisconsin.
Obama campaigned extensively for her husband during the 2008 presidential race, although her individual appearances were generally low-key, featuring intimate roundtable events and discussions about specific policy issues like support for military families. The upcoming tour of midterm battleground states -- Illinois, Colorado, Wisconsin, New York, Washington, Connecticut, and California -- will be her most extensive foray into campaign politics for more than two years.
The first lady remains much more popular than her husband nationwide. An NBC/WSJ poll in August showed less than one in five respondents saying they have a negative view of Mrs. Obama.
She is particularly popular with women, African Americans and other core Democratic voters – constituencies that could be crucial in tight Senate races nationwide. According to the NBC/WSJ poll, 57 percent of female respondents have a positive impression of Michelle Obama, compared to just 43 percent of men. Comparatively, just 48 percent of women view Barack Obama in a positive light.
Michelle Obama also performs better than her husband now with suburban voters and retirees.
But a downside for Obama could be that her fans – not unlike 2008 Obama voters as a whole – simply aren't all that motivated to vote in November. Almost 60 percent of Michelle Obama supporters expressed relatively low interest in the midterm elections when they were surveyed in August.
Democrats are hoping that the first lady can turn those numbers around.

Looks to me as if the stump hit her.

BucketAss is about as popular as a case of the clap! Let em keeping sending her out there....it just turns folks off with her “I’m the Queen” attitude...........
She told me about this dress, and I didn't believe her.
"You haven't seen the Pinata dress?" she said. "She really does look like a human pinata in that dress!"
I'm sorry, S, I didn't actually believe you then. I do now!!
I am becoming more and more convinced that whoever is in charge of her wardrobe and helps her pick out her clothes and tells her she looks "mahvelous dahling" secretly really, really hates her!
The human pinata
Is that real? Is that photoshopped?
A short time ago it was known as the “Ugly Tree”, she snapped it off into a stump. You can see where all the Ugly went...
Darn, when I saw the title I was hoping it was an article about Her Thighness beating up Al Gore.
Oh well :-(
It IS photoshopped, but the real dress is not much better.

Well damn, I fell for it...
Then again, how sad is that; most people probably will too because frankly it wouldn’t be that far afield.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Frankly I think the real dress was worse. Especially when you consider that they were headed to a Medal of Honor ceremony.
Says something when we have to ask, doesn’t it!!!
I spotted the shoulders...but worse than the gaudy dress, is the attitude seen in her face.
magilla gorilla does what?
That is not the dress she wore to this occasion. Seriously. This is photoshopped.
