Gallup, the major U.S. polling organization, has announced that it will cease measuring presidential approval ratings after nearly 90 years of tracking public opinion. This decision marks the end of a significant era in political polling, as Gallup has been a key player in documenting presidential approval for decades. Notably, the announcement comes at a time when recent approval ratings for several presidents, particularly Trump, have shown troubling declines. The end of this polling practice has sparked conversations among journalists and political analysts, who express concern over what this change means for the future of public opinion tracking.
