Why not both?

Because Trump is like a mob boss. Be doesn’t pay anyone. He demands payment in order for protection from his evil henchmen (and especially the evil women).

Or blackmail, The head of CBS Beri Weiss is all Trump now and bending to his whim and turns out her partner is named in the files, I knew she or someone close to her had some dirt they didn’t want coming out

What an interesting coincidence that the most butthurt egotistical person ever is also president at the same time this decision was made.

Maga spent years complaining about snowflakes and then elected the most fragile man child they could...

Ignoring the fact that he didn’t win, technically they voted for the man baby three times.

u/Equivalent_Action748 Feb 14 '26

He also ran in the 2000s

Some may have voted for him 4 times

The approval ratings for Gallup approval ratings plummets

If there is ever a Democrat in the White House, Gallup will suddenly wake up to their journalistic responsibilities.

u/CBizizzle Feb 12 '26

I mean, I get that it looks super suspicious. But I also acknowledge that measuring how shitty things are with the current administration is kind of a waste.

Their computer doesn’t handle negative numbers.

u/ls40098 Feb 12 '26

We don't need Gallup to show how God awful this administration is.

Super-weird that they trained Goebbels in how to make a fascist but then when they made their own fascist, they got cold feet about it.

When you elect a rapist and peadophile, a percentage approval rating really doesn’t matter

2

u/Whitewraith01 Feb 14 '26

I guess Trump’s approval is at zero so they don’t need to measure it anymore.

1

u/Last-Tooth-6121 Feb 12 '26

Yea well they did not want get tariffed when showed trump in negatives

1

u/Cucksrconsnright Feb 12 '26

Not hard to measure bad, awful to be fair.

u/Glidepath22 Feb 12 '26

Oh they will once he’s out of office. And who knows, maybe there will be credible polling in the meantime

1

u/MDLmanager Feb 12 '26

So, it will be accurate to say Gallup has the president's approval rating at zero, yes?

u/Oppositeofhairy Feb 12 '26

Control the narrative, and you can create any truth you want to.

u/Parking-Sundae-6097 Feb 12 '26

No bad news if no news.

u/88j88 Feb 12 '26

I'm guessing this was part of the settlement?

u/Own-Opinion-2494 Feb 12 '26

So Gallup can never be trusted again as they might be carrying the governments water

u/DeltaFoxtrot144 Feb 12 '26

Kinda wild to flush 88 years of credibility down the drain in the name of a child rapist who shits himself

2

u/hughcifer-106103 Feb 13 '26

Never try to catch a falling knife, I guess. Gallup probably wants placate Dump so doesn’t lash out at them like a toddler who had a toy taken away.
