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”.
Trump’s second-term approval rating fell to 36% in December, which is among the lowest ever recorded by the company. The US president started his second term with an approval rating of 47%.
“We’re gonna stop doing one of our main day to day functions because we have goals and stuff”
Who do they think they’re fooling?
They’ll successfully fool the people who want to be fooled.
“Trump runs FAKE NEWS Polling Company OUT of BUSINESS!!! Relief as MILLIONS take to the streets to PRAISE TRUMP.”
Probably not far from what the right wing media would report on this. And everyone who consumes this media will believe it wholesale.
“I’m the most popular president in history. This has never happened before. I am so popular. It’s really great.”
The orange turd, likely in a few days or weeks
He’s popular alright, just in all the wrong ways. There’s famous and then there’s infamous.
Hitler was popular and also infamous. So was Stalin. I dunno. Maybe the fuckin pedophile aims to be like those assholes. Either way, he’s a piece of fucking shit.
Would you say he has a plethora of infamy?
Oh, yes. He definitely has a plethora of infamy…
Jerb322, what is a “plethora”?
So you don’t know what popular means, then?
Meh, I could argue semantics. He can be popular in a sense that people love to hate him. So, yes… I do know what popular means by definition, of which there are several.
There is only one fool they want to person.
wait…
One person they want to person.
No, still not right.
One fool they want to fool.
That’s it, that’s the one.
