The New York Times/Siena poll published October 21, 2026 reported that Trump's approval hit a new low (36% approve, 59% disapprove), its lowest in any Times/Siena poll, so the claim that the NYT reported a new polling low is supported. The claimant's broader point that every article said so is not checked, and the extraction matches the passage's NYT reference.

What we found

Supports. The NYT's own October 21, 2026 article reports that Trump's approval hit a new low, at 36% approve and 59% disapprove, the lowest recorded in any Times/Siena poll.[1]

Supports. USA Today reports that the New York Times/Siena poll showed Trump at a record low, and cites the NYT's own figures for the new low.[2]

Supports. Irish Examiner and Yahoo News both report the NYT/Siena poll as the lowest Trump approval recorded in that poll series.[3][4]

Context. Other polls, including Emerson and Reuters/Ipsos, also reported new lows in late October, but they are not NYT reporting and do not bear on the claim's NYT-specific wording.[5][6]
