Melania Trump is leaving the White House as the least popular first lady ever, according to a new poll.
The former model was given a 47 percent unfavorability rating by respondents to a CNN/SSRS survey released on Sunday.
Trump is dramatically more unpopular than any previous first lady at the end of a presidential term, according to the cable network. The average unfavorability rating for a first lady before Trump is 21 percent.
The news outlet noted that the only other first lady to exit the White House with an unfavorability rating below 40 percent was Hillary Clinton, who was unpopular with 39 percent of those polled in 2001.
The latest poll numbers came as Trump released a farewell message on Monday as she prepared to leave the executive mansion, calling her time as first lady "the greatest honor in my life."
