What does "she has a least-common-denominator mentality" mean about someone?

Question:I understand what least common denominator is in a mathmatical context, but not this context.

Answers:
It has nothing to do with pop culture, but more to do with level of success or education.

The lowest common denominator in this type of situation is the most basic thing that everyone knows about or reacts to (often this is pop culture stuff, but doesn't have to be).

It's rarely used as an adjective, as you have it here. More often it's used as a noun. A politician might target his speeches for the lowest (or least; both are fine) common denominator, meaning wanting them to be understood by the most people, including those who might be less educated, sophisticated, or informed than others.

I would need more context to know what exactly is meant by your phrase.
Are you sure it wasn't meant to read "lowest common denominator"? In that case it would mean she watches reality television and listens to the top-40 radio stations. Otherwise I can't help you.
the previos poster hit it on the nail . fads, nascar or bad rap, tramp stamps... no thought about your self only doing what others do or think is cool .
I would suggest it means she thinks differently from the mainstream.

For it to be the popular view it would be the highest
