In a Dec. 5 roundup of Illinois poll data, Public Policy Polling said Michelle Obama leads Sen. Mark Kirk in a hypothetical 2016 Senate matchup.
The polling firm said the first lady leads Kirk 51-40 in the could-be race. Kirk's approval rating, according to voters polled, is 34 percent, with a disapproval rating of 19 percent. Meanwhile, Michelle Obama tops out with a 60 percent approval rating, with a 33 percent disapproval.
Fortunately, (for now) Michelle Obama has been very emphatic that future plans to run for office are "nonexistent." Her plate is currently full: drawing up even more aggravating restrictions for our youth's lunch-time meals. Let Americans "gear-up" and prepare for a solid fight against another Clinton in 2016 before we run for the hills if Michelle were to be the next "trend-setter" amongst recent first ladies. I'm confident that the GOP has a stronger base if that were so.
