Gallup will no longer measure presidential approval after 88 years

[themaguffin]

This sounds like bullshit... like they don't want to get harassed by Orange Caligula as they report on his collapse.

Gallup will no longer track presidential approval ratings after more than eight decades doing so, the public opinion polling agency confirmed to The Hill on Wednesday.

The company said starting this year it would stop publishing approval and favorability ratings of individual political figures, saying in a statement it “reflects an evolution in how Gallup focuses its public research and thought leadership.”

The Gallup Presidential Approval Rating has for decades been the among the top barometers cited by media outlets measuring public opinion of the president’s performance.

President Trump has seen his rating by the agency slip in recent months, peaking at 47 percent last February and dipping to less than 37 percent in its last poll taken in December.

11. In some way, it feels like he's part of the reason.

15. Or something

3. Nice little agency ya got here..

It would be a shame if something happened to it.

4. And that tells me...

This is why the polls are so unbelievable anymore.

37% is the lowest anyone dares show the orange hellbeast's ratings since early last year. Since they can't say no to the bastard, they'll just stop doing the thing he hates.

5. If you don't like the results, force them to quit reporting them

or control the numbers until nothing can be trusted. Same technique as climate change, weather, air pollution, tariff income, disease updates, inflation, unemployment, GDP and on and on

6. I read this earlier today and thought it was satire

7. Until there's a Democrat in the WH

[Easterncedar]

8. Gallup refers to its "thought leadership"?

If that's not a plain statement of corruption in a polling organization right there, the Mango goon is a stable genius.

9. From Gallup to Gish Gallop

Cowards

[Johonny]

10. I guess once it hits zero, they give up measuring?

[Initech]

12. Yeah because who needs polls when we have a literal tyranical emperor and an ass kissing goon squad in charge?

God forbid we hurt the poor widdle piggy's feelings.

13. Rump's ratings must have fallen through the floor

[senseandsensibility]

14. Why?

Their reason given in the linked article is gobbledy-gook.

[LiberalArkie]

16. Kind of like when the news media stopped doing exit polling in 2003 because the exit polls said something different than

the election results.

[Unrepentant Fenian]

17. Censorship by threat!

[Liberal In Texas]

18. Cowards

Too many corporate suits are kowtowing to this petty tyrant.

[Blasphemer]

19. They are not even trying to hide it anymore. All implicated. All Epstein-related. Disgusting. nt

[sarisataka]

20. Odd to see people upset about this

Since I distinctly remember many people saying Gallup was unreliable and fixed with their polling results.

If they're unreliable anyway, what does it matter if they stop polling popularity?

[Wounded Bear]

21. The fascist way: Don't like the numbers, stop counting them and make up ones you like better...
