Gallup Cedes to Pressure, Halts Presidential Approval Ratings Tracking
Gallup, a prominent public opinion polling agency, has announced it will discontinue tracking presidential approval ratings after nearly nine decades. This decision, according to the organization, stems from a shift in its research focus and priorities, moving away from individual political figures towards broader societal issues. The Presidential Approval Rating, a historically significant barometer of presidential performance, will cease to be measured. This change occurs amidst ongoing scrutiny of polling accuracy by figures like Donald Trump, who has frequently criticized unfavorable ratings and the media outlets reporting them.
