A majority of Americans believe Melania Trump is a good influence on her husband Donald Trump, a new poll from DailyMail.com found, and they called her a ‘beautiful’ person.
The poll, conducted with J.L. Partners, also showed Melania Trump has a high approval rating. The words Americans used to describe her also included ‘classy,’ and ‘elegant.’
Melania returned to the spotlight last week when she restarted her Be Best initiative and attended President Trump’s speech to Congress.
She traveled from the White House to Capitol Hill with the president. And she smiled and applauded from her box in the House chamber as he spoke.
Melania also joined him at a formal dinner at the White House for the nation’s governors, and Trump has praised his wife and her work.
Americans believe that support goes both ways.
In the poll, 40 percent said they believe the first lady is a good influence on her husband.
The poll was conducted March 5-7 among a sample of 1,019 registered voters with a 3.4 percent margin of error.

The poll also found 47 percent approve of the job Melania is doing as first lady with 38 per cent disapproving.
Melania Trump spent most of the first month of her second tenure as first lady in New York with son Barron.
Her son is in his freshman year at New York University.
She’s also been focused on wrapping up filming for her documentary that will air on Amazon this fall.
And she’s been working on her private business initiatives, including her own cryptocurrency.
But last week she was in the Capitol to relaunch her Be Best campaign.
It was her first solo event as the newly minted First Lady. She was there to support the ‘TAKE IT DOWN’ act – aimed at protecting Americans from deepfake and revenge pornography.
She joined lawmakers in speaking out against revenge porn and deepfakes generated by AI.
In her speech, she slammed Democrats for their lack of support on the issue.
‘I expected to see more Democrat leaders with us here today to address this serious issue. Surely as adults, we can prioritize America’s children ahead of partisan politics,’ she said.
She’s also preparing for future events at the White House.
The first lady announced the annual White House Easter Egg roll will take place April 21st.
And she announced the Spring Garden tours will begin April 5th.

Additionally, President Trump said the first lady will accompany him to a state visit to the United Kingdom later this year.
The King personally invited Trump to make a state visit to the UK later this year, a rare second invite for an American president. Trump made a state visit in his first term when Queen Elizabeth II was on the throne.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer personally delivered the letter from the King at a meeting with the Trump in the Oval Office in early March.
Trump waved the letter around in front of the cameras and grandly accepted the invitation.
‘The answer is yes,’ the president said.
‘On behalf of our wonderful first lady Melania and myself, the answer is yes, and we look forward to being there and honoring the King and honoring, really, your country. Your country is a fantastic country, and it’ll be our honor to be there.’
