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%.
Trump corruption knows no limits.
These pretexts they give are completely unnecessary.
Literally everybody with a working brain that is paying attention understands the optics of this is that Gallup is bending the knee and paying the toll so that Trump doesn’t attack them with the Executive Branch.
Eh, yeah, we know what they’re doing. But making a public statement of the pretext isn’t for our sake, it’s just to appease the executive.
“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…
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.
Can’t measure something that doesn’t exist.
So did he threaten a lawsuit or did they decide to preemptively capitulate before he remembered what their name was?
I guess we don’t need polling if we’re not doing that “democracy” thing anymore.
trump will forever be known by historians as the president who was so bad that gallup had to stop measuring it.
More like so corrupt that Gallup was afraid to measure it.
Same same, but different
Once makes it sound like Gallup chose to do it on its own, the other shows the fact that they’re afraid of what his corrupt federal government might do to them.
True, but from a future historical perspective, it will be easy to connect the dots
No need, we all love the pedo-in-chief, don’t we?
Sounds a lot like combatting covid by stopping the testing. If people can’t see it, it’s not there?
This is the most important moment perhaps in decades to keep polling and they stop? Holy fuck.
I kind of wondered if ABC/Disney capitulated when axing 538?
88 = HH
Appropriate that orange twitler stops getting public bad reviews on “88”.
*until a Democrat is elected
If we don’t “blue wave” like we’ve never “blue waved” before in the next major elections, we’re fucked.
If you wait for the next elections to save you you’re already fucked.
You are not wrong
That was true… in 1979.
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.
They didn’t design the system for this low of numbers…
/S
True, even laws of thermodynamics has a bottom… it’s called absolute zero. At what point do you keep going?
Disapproval rating rolled over like an old odometer, and now just shows two sideways zeros…
Betraying the people of the US completely
Awe did a fragile little pedofile and child murder have his fee fees hurt by the consequences of his own actions?
You’re talking about that convicted criminal?
“Our charts don’t go that low” would have been a better excuse.
Unfortunately, Trump’s numbers still aren’t the lowest they’ve taken. Lowest was Truman in February(?) 1952.
For no particular reason whatsoever
