A new poll shows that President Trump's disapproval rating reached a record high, according to a report from The Hill. The outlet reported that an NBC News poll found 60 percent of respondents do not approve of Trump's job performance, which The Hill described as "a new high across both of his terms as president."

The Hill reported that the disapproval rating reached its record high on Sunday, less than 48 hours before Election Day. The same report said Trump's approval rating hit 40 percent in the poll.

The Hill's summary describes the results as a new high across Trump's two terms, but it does not provide the poll's sample size, field dates, margin of error, or question wording. The summary is also cut off mid-sentence, so The Hill's full account of the NBC News survey cannot be confirmed from the material available for this story.

The Hill's report, written by Ryan Mancini, was published on November 2, 2026. No other outlet's account of the NBC News survey was among the materials provided for this story, so the figures above rest on The Hill's summary alone.
