This sounds like bullshit... like they don't want to get harassed by Orange Caligula as they report on his collapse.
The company said starting this year it would stop publishing approval and favorability ratings of individual political figures, saying in a statement it reflects an evolution in how Gallup focuses its public research and thought leadership.
President Trump has seen his rating by the agency slip in recent months, peaking at 47 percent last February and dipping to less than 37 percent in its last poll taken in December.

(101,373 posts)This is why the polls are so unbelievable anymore.
37% is the lowest anyone dares show the orange hellbeast's ratings since early last year. Since they can't say no to the bastard, they'll just stop doing the thing he hates.

(22,377 posts)Since I distinctly remember many people saying Gallup was unreliable and fixed with their polling results.
If they're unreliable anyway, what does it matter if they stop polling popularity?
