"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. This change is part of a broader, ongoing effort to align all of Gallup's public work with its mission. We look forward to continuing to offer independent research that adheres to the highest standards of social science."
"Trump's Gallup approval rating as of last December was among the lowest the organization had found since it began taking the poll in the 1930s, the Hill's report noted adding that their reporter had asked Gallup if it had received any feedback from the White House or anyone in the current administration before making the decision, and the pollster's spokesperson replied, this is a strategic shift solely based on Gallup's research goals and priorities."
Gallup tracked presidential approval ratings for 88 years before deciding to stop measuring approval and favorability ratings for specific individual politicians. Gallup said the change reflects an evolution toward focusing on long-term, methodologically sound research on issues and conditions that shape people's lives, to continue through the Gallup Poll Social Series, the Gallup Quarterly Business Review, the World Poll, and its U.S. and global research portfolio. The move coincided with a downward shift in President Donald Trump's approval ratings, which Gallup recorded as among the lowest since the 1930s as of last December. Gallup denied White House influence, calling the change a strategic shift based on research goals, while reporters and commentators reacted with shock and skepticism about abandoning long-term tracking.
