President Donald Trump's approval rating is net negative in 12 national polls conducted this month, according to RealClearPolling.com.

The polling aggregator has Trump at a 43.0% approval average and a 54.8% disapproval average, with a spread of -11.8. The president is reported to have a -7 spread in the latest Morning Consult poll; a -13 spread in the latest Economist/YouGov poll; a -5 spread in the latest Big Data Poll; a -20 spread in the latest CBS News poll; a -10 spread in the latest Daily Mail poll; a -5 spread in the latest Rasmussen Reports poll; a -5 spread in the latest InsiderAdvantage poll; a -17 spread in the latest FOX News poll; a -7 spread in the latest RMG Research* poll; a -22 spread in the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll; a -12 spread in the latest Quantus Insights poll' and a -14 spread in the latest Marquette poll.

Trump was also reported to have his lowest disapproval rating of any point during his two non-consecutive terms in office, according to famed polling expert Nate Silver.

"Trump's disapproval rating (55.9%) now exceeds the figure from a comparable point in his first term (54.9%)," Silver wrote on his X account last Saturday (November 22), along with a graphic showing how Trump's disapproval rating compared to other presidents in their second term.

Trump's approval rating is also reported to have hit a new low of 41.2% for his second term and his net approval rating is -27, which Silver said was "slightly better his first term" but trending in the wrong direction.

"His net approval rating is still slightly better than his 1st term. But the trajectory remains negative. Epstein/the economy/general fatigue with Trump is outweighing any post-shutdown recovery so far," Silver wrote on his X account.

Trump's approval rating was also reported to have dropped to a new low for his second term in the recent Reuters/Ipsos poll. The survey, which was conducted between November 14 and November 17, showed that Trump had a 38% approval rating and a 60% disapproval rating, giving him a -22% net approval rating. The president's approval rating has seen a consistent drop during the first eight months of his second term, starting at 47% when he took office in January.

The four-day poll was released amid criticism over Trump's handling of the high cost off living and public stance on the investigation into late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who he was known to have had a past relationship with prior to his claim of a public fallout. The Republican controlled Congress passed a measure to force the release of Justice Department files on Epstein to be released and the bill is set to be sent to the president's desk.

Silver gained notoriety for successfully predicting 49 of 50 states in the 2008 presidential election, as well as former President Barack Obama's re-election win in 2012 and Biden's win in the 2020 election. The pollster was, however, criticized for giving Hillary Clinton a 71.4% chance of winning over Trump after the former president 304 electoral college votes to win the election.

"I think people shouldn’t have been so surprised," Silver told the Harvard Gazette in 2017. "Clinton was the favorite, but the polls showed, in our view, particularly at the end, a highly competitive race in the Electoral College. We had him with a 30 percent chance, and that’s a pretty likely occurrence. Why did people think it was much less than that? I think there are a few things."
