Two poll aggregators which include only polls that meet reliability criteria (meaning no Rasmussen among others)

VoteHub https://votehub.com/polls/?subject=trump&time_adjusted=true
Average Trump approval is 43.8, net -9.3%

Strength In Numbers https://www.gelliottmorris.com/p/data?open=false#%C2%A7how-popular-is-donald-trump
Average Trump approval is 42.1, net -12.0%. The 42.1% average approval is the lowest Trump has been this year.
