Michelle Obama voted 5th best First Lady of the US

C-SPAN teamed up with Siena College for its fifth comprehensive study to rank the First Ladies of the United States, and our current FLOTUS Michelle Obama came in fifth place.

According to results, Eleanor Roosevelt grabbed the top spot, her fifth No. 1 ranking over the last 32 years. She was followed by Abigail Adams, Jacqueline Kennedy and Dolley Madison, who rounded out the top four. Michelle Obama bumped down Hillary Clinton, who came in fourth place last time the survey was conducted, to sixth.

The research judged each of the former first ladies in 10 categories, including background, public image, integrity, accomplishments and value to the country. At first glance, fifth placed seemed like an injustice for Mrs. Obama, considering she’s a self-proclaimed “mom-in-chief,” face of her “Let’s Move” campaign and an international fashion icon. However, she did land at No. 1 in the balance of family life category.
