Michelle Obama scored an overall 68 percent favorable rating in a Marist Poll released on Tuesday, but only 37 percent of those registered voters say she has changed the role of first lady for the better.
Other findings:
*The 68 percent "favorable impression" shows a partisan divide: 85 percent of Democrats, 53 percent of Republicans and 61 percent of Independents viewed her favorably.
*On her performance as first lady, 57 percent of registered voters told Marist she was "doing well" in her position, up from 50 percent when Marist asked the same question in March.
*The same number, 57 percent, said Mrs. Obama has lived up to their expectations.
*On the fashion front, 41 percent say Mrs. Obama has changed fashion for the better; 39 percent said she has had no impact at all.
*On whether she has "revolutionized" the role of first lady, 37 percent say she has changed it for the better, which is down from 43 percent in April.
The survey of 1,034 U.S. residents -- age 18 and up -- was taken Dec. 2, 3 and 7, and included 858 registered voters. The margin of error is 3 percent.
