Utopia Talk / Politics / Gallup kills POTUS approval polling

murder rank	Thu Feb 12 06:49:40 Gallup will no longer measure presidential approval after 88 years 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.” Read the rest here: https://th...ential-approval-ratings-polls/ *snicker* :o)
Sam Adams rank	Thu Feb 12 07:45:57 Lol Gallup is retarded
tumbleweed rank	Thu Feb 12 07:59:05 " When asked by The Hill if Gallup had received any feedback from the White House or anyone in the current administration before making the decision, the spokesperson said, “this is a strategic shift solely based on Gallup’s research goals and priorities.” " our dictator has repeatedly claimed the polls are all fake & there should be punishment... what more 'feedback' is needed

Rugian rank	Thu Feb 12 23:55:58 Any suggestion that Trump is not universally beloved by the people is defamatory, bordering on an act of lèse-majesté.
tumbleweed rank	Fri Feb 13 00:05:40 he's already openly threatened to sue them (& supposedly fake polls are included in his bullshit $15 billion suit against the NY Times), though entirely possible there's fear of imprisoning of people on Trumped up charges given he's threatened that as well & is acting on it w/ multiple foes w/ his fully corrupt DOJ
Paramount rank	Fri Feb 13 09:49:04 Trump should start his own polling company. A polling company that produce real and true ratings. Maybe he can expand his Truth Social to also include Truth Polling.
tumbleweed rank	Fri Feb 13 10:03:58 he regularly posts that his poll numbers are their highest ever no need to see the polls or for it to have any basis in reality truly bizarre that this completely obvious idiot & fraud is still (& was ever) the 'president'
Habebe rank	Fri Feb 13 18:06:23 TW, The Dems will likley crush it in the midterms. Im looking forward to it.
Seb rank	Fri Feb 13 18:25:05 This is like when Argentina stopped measuring inflation. Only the autocratic version where is not embarrassment but fear.
Rugian rank	Fri Feb 13 19:21:30 Seb I wouldnt't put anything past these chucklefucks in the White House, but this move would be consistent with recent trends by pollsters looking to ditch services that they view as having become obsolete/non-profitable, and it's not like Gallup was the only pollster that tracked presidential approvals. Absent additional developments in this story, I'm willing to believe that this is just coincidental timing, not prompted by Trump's midnight "all pollsters are FAKE and I'm going to sue them for eleventy billion dollars" posts on social media.
Rugian rank	Fri Feb 13 19:29:54 I'm way more concerned with Trump's moves at the BLS than by this story. I absolutely believe this administration has been moving to politicize economic data releases - an unbelievably stupid and destructive move, especially given that the strength of US capital markets is underpinned by the assumption that the economu is reliably and honestly reflected in the numbers issued to the public. That sort of shit is going to buttfuck us in the long term if it's allowed to become the norm.
