The large gender gap in President Trump's 2016 election win has carried over to the approval rating for his first year in office, a new poll shows.

The gender difference in Trump's approval rating is 12 percentage points, with 45 percent of men approving of his performance and 33 percent of women approving, according to the new Gallup poll.

While the overall support for past presidents waned throughout the course of their time in office, the gender gap remained fairly constant, according to Gallup.

President George W. Bush, the last Republican president in office, had a 7 percent gender gap in support after his first year and a 6 percent gap overall after completing two terms.
