An indicator of favorability to the First Lady from 1993 through midyear 1999 is constructed. That series is independent of similar attitudes toward the president. And although the series displays ups and downs, empirical analysis is not successful in explaining why the public likes or dislikes the First Lady. The personal nature of a likability assessment, it is argued, makes for an attitude resistant to change in the short run.
