  Gallup Will No Longer Track Presidential Approval Ratings by Ruth Igielnik 

 After nearly 90 years, the Gallup Organization will no longer track presidential approval ratings, which served as a steady way to measure Americans’ views of their elected leaders.

The polling firm, which has been tracking presidential approval since Franklin D. Roosevelt, said that the decision was based on a shift in corporate strategy, intended to focus more on issues and policy polling.

“We’re focused on providing analytics that inform and drive meaningful change,” Justin McCarthy, a spokesman for Gallup, said.

Gallup’s decision comes as President Trump has escalated his threats against the press, and sued at least one respected pollster, J. Ann Selzer. He accused Ms. Selzer and The Des Moines Register of election interference after publishing a poll just before the general election showing Kamala Harris leading in Iowa. Mr. Trump won the state by 13 percentage points.

Gallup’s last presidential approval rating, in December 2025, put Mr. Trump’s rating at 36 percent, among his lowest ratings as president.
