Gallup, the public opinion polling agency, will stop tracking presidential approval ratings after almost nine decades, a spokesperson confirmed.

As Donald Trump continues to closely scrutinize polling of his popularity, and publicly lambast media companies that report on unfavorable numbers, Gallup insisted its decision was “solely based on Gallup’s research goals and priorities”.

Trump’s second-term approval rating fell to 36% in December, which is among the lowest ever recorded by the company. The US president started his second term with an approval rating of 47%.

    You told me he has a plethora of infamy. And I just would like to know if you know what a plethora is. I would not like to think that a person would tell someone he has a plethora of infamy and find out that that person has no idea what it means to have a plethora!

      Forgive me, samus12345. I know that I, jerb322, do not have your superior intellect and education. But could it be, that once again you are mad at something else and looking to take it out on me?

        Like what, Jerb322? The fact that climate change, pedophile billionaires, and fascism are destroying the planet? Well, you’re right! All I have left is quoting lines from old movies from my childhood to try to keep the horrors at bay.
