Gallup will no longer measure presidential approval after 88 yearsThe Hill
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.

That work will continue through the Gallup Poll Social Series, the Gallup Quarterly Business Review, the World Poll, and our portfolio of U.S. and global research.
