A survey recently conducted to rank America’s First Ladies has rekindled debate, but there is likely to be an unpleasant surprise for some.

As some of the country’s past First Ladies still retain their popularity several years on since they stepped down from their roles, present-day First Lady Melania Trump finds herself in a more complicated position, symbolizing the sharply polarized opinions of the American people.

In this survey of 2,255 Americans, Melania found herself among such famous First Ladies as Michelle Obama and Jackie Kennedy.

According to polling from YouGov, Melania Trump has an approval rating of -16. This places her behind her successor, Jill Biden, who scored -9—but she does not rank at the very bottom.

The holder of that title is Hillary Clinton, whose approval score was -17. On the whole, one can notice that negative approval scores for political figures are rather common nowadays.

However, there were some First Ladies who enjoyed the support of voters from various ideological backgrounds.

Among them:

Nancy Reagan (+25)
Rosalynn Carter (+32)
Lady Bird Johnson (+23)
Barbara Bush (+21)
Michelle Obama (+21)
Laura Bush (+19)

But towering above all these other figures in terms of popularity and influence was none other than Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis with an impressive approval rating of +56.
