Public opinion polling agency says decision ‘solely based on Gallup’s research goals and priorities’

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%.

    If we don’t “blue wave” like we’ve never “blue waved” before in the next major elections, we’re fucked.

      There will be no fair elections. The Republicans are taking measures you only take in the conviction that your opponents are not going to replace you any time soon. Also look at what Trump is saying about nationalising polling. Also look at the attack of the Capitol.
