Gallup stops rating presidents

The American research company Gallup announced it is discontinuing its annual tracking of U.S. presidential approval ratings, a practice it had maintained for over 88 years. In an official statement, the institute noted that changes in the social context and in survey methodology were the reasons for ending this monitoring. Gallup had long published assessments of presidential popularity, providing analysts and political scientists with benchmarks on public opinion.

Context
