A recent AP-Yahoo report by Medill indicates that Obama's hipness with young voters might not also create hip association to his wife Michelle.

"According to an AP-Yahoo News opinion poll released this week, 34 percent of young adults ages 18 to 34 have an unfavorable impression of Michelle Obama. This compares with 27 percent of young people who view her favorably and 39 percent who said they aren’t informed enough about her to comment either way."

How could it be worse? If you were Cindy McCain... that's how. According to the report

"Just 18 percent of young people polled view Cindy McCain unfavorably, a slightly lower figure than the 22 percent who said they have a positive impression of her. But Cindy McCain remains more of a mystery to most young voters—59 percent of 18-to-34-year-olds said they don’t know enough about her to form an impression."

There are many reasons for this, most notably that there has been more of a focus on their spouses than there has been on themselves. You don't really hear Cindy stump for her husband that much, and Michelle is known to stump but not often enough to bump her awareness.

Or, Michelle is tall enough everyone wants her on their b-ball team. Cindy is a beer distributor... and she steals recipes from the food network which means they're always going to be tasty!

Happy 4th! Nothing says America like beer and stolen cookies.
