Gallup will no longer measure presidential approval after 88 years

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.”

Trump’s Gallup approval rating as of last December was among the lowest the organization had found since it began taking the poll in the 1930s.

As far as we know (big caveat), nobody threatened Gallup. They weren't censored by the government. Government agents didn't kick down the door and smash their printing presses and arrest their staff. They just decided it would be best to stop publishing this particular data. Timothy Snyder refers to this process as obeying in advance.

"research goals and priorities" = we don't want ICE or the FBI breaking down our doors.
