WASHINGTON, D.C. – President Donald Trump’s approval rating is steady for another week, keeping the second-term president at a consistently lower-than-average approval rating throughout May.

Trump in mid-April ended the first three months of his second term with an average 45% job approval rating, according to an analysis by Gallup. Though higher than the 41% he earned in his first term during the same period, it is well below the 60% average during the first three months of all other U.S. presidents' first terms since 1952.
