Gallup will no longer track presidential approval ratings after more than eight decades doing so, the public opinion polling agency confirmed to The Hill on Wednesday.

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.”

    We all know why they did this. It has nothing to do with the bullshit their trying to claim.

    They did this because of trump.

    Translated: We are cowards and the current president is a ridiculously fragile crybaby who can bury us all if we produce data that indicates he is polling worse than the previous president, who he claims was the worst of all time. We have no spine, no balls, no integrity, and welcome our tissue-skinned commander-in-chief into our eagerly-awaiting spread cheeks.

    Seems to be a common theme nowadays.

    You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.

    There is huge historiographic, academic, intellectual, world history value in keeping this poll going. Its the longest running, consistently executed poll in the US. The methods have been kept largely identical throughout. It doesn’t matter if its flawed in some ways. The consistency alone has value enough to keep it, and I’m sure the costs of running it are marginal.

    This some bullshit.

    OK, so Gallup is pro-fascist and their poll numbers can’t ever be trusted. Bunch of orange-ass-kissing cowards.
