Gallup to stop tracking presidential approval ratings after 88 years

So basically, Gallup has chosen to capitulate to a whiny 3-year-old who shits in his pants in the oval office



Gallup, the public opinion polling agency, will stop tracking presidential approval ratings after almost nine decades, a spokesperson confirmed.

As Donald Trump continues to closely scrutinize polling of his popularity and publicly lambast media companies that report on unfavorable numbers, Gallup insisted its decision was “solely based on Gallup’s research goals and priorities”.

The company said on Wednesday that it would stop measuring the favorability rating of individual political figures, which “reflects an evolution in how Gallup focuses its public research and thought leadership”, after 88 years.

government. Did Gallup cancel the presidential approval poll to preserve its business with the Trump administration?

Asked whether it had received any complaints about its polls from the White House, Gallup did not directly answer."
