"Gallup has confirmed it will stop conducting public opinion polling to establish presidential approval ratings or approval ratings for any individual political figures. The organization has been providing this data for eighty-eight years and is considered one of the leading and most reliable sources. The move has shocked many. A statement from the organization to The Hill said the change "reflects an evolution in how Gallup focuses its public research and thought leadership.""
""Our commitment is to long-term, methodologically sound research on issues and conditions that shape people's lives," the statement explained. "That work will continue through the Gallup Poll Social Series, the Gallup Quarterly Business Review, the World Poll, and our portfolio of U.S. and global research." But many have speculated there is more to the story, and that perhaps the president's historically low approval ratings have something to do with the shift."
Gallup will stop conducting public opinion polling to establish presidential approval ratings or approval ratings for any individual political figures after eighty-eight years of providing such data. The organization characterized the change as an evolution in focus and emphasized continued work through the Gallup Poll Social Series, the Gallup Quarterly Business Review, the World Poll, and other U.S. and global research. Gallup described the move as a strategic shift based on research goals and priorities and denied external contact before the decision. Public speculation links the change to the president's historically low approval ratings, currently at 36 percent.
