President Trump's job approval rating has reached a second-term low in a new post-election survey, according to a report from The Hill published November 13, 2026, and written by Ford McCracken. The report's headline described the result as a "record second-term low," and its summary said the rating shows little sign of improvement after the president's party suffered widespread losses in the midterm elections.
The survey is the Economist/YouGov poll. According to The Hill's summary, 63 percent of Americans disapproved of Trump's job performance, including 52 percent who disapproved strongly. The summary cites 32 percent in a sentence that is cut off, so the text reviewed for this story does not confirm what that figure measured.
The Hill's summary does not give the poll's sample size, field dates, or methodology, and it does not break results down by party or demographic group. It also does not compare the rating with earlier readings or with other polls.
The Hill's summary describes the survey as a post-election poll and refers to the midterm losses only in general terms. It does not name the races, states, or seats involved, or the number of seats lost by the president's party.
The Hill's summary is the only source reviewed for this story, so the reporting here is limited to that summary and its headline. Readers seeking the full results should consult the complete report, and coverage from other news organizations of the survey was not available for this story.
