The Candidates' Market Report

President Trump's approval ratings remained steady this week. However, the overall trend for his popularity is on the up, despite May's totals being 2 points lower than April's. April was his highest monthly rating since February 2017, which was Trump's first full month in the White House. Congress continues to take a beating from the American public. This week saw another point drop despite a brief flurry of popularity last week. Pelosi, McConnell, and Schumer all received a minor bump in their ratings.

This Week’s Major Players
