I wonder what the Trump threat was that led to Gallup deciding they will no longer continue to poll for presidential approval ratings after 88 years.

“… President Trump has seen his rating by the agency slip in recent months, peaking at 47 percent last February and dipping to less than 37 percent in its last poll taken in December.

“This change is part of a broader, ongoing effort to align all of Gallup’s public work with its mission,” a spokesperson for Gallup said. “We look forward to continuing to offer independent research that adheres to the highest standards of social science.”

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. …”

Just more evidence that Trump 2.0's bullying and intimidation campaign on American businesses and news media outlets is working. And it's also very revealing of the mentality of Trumpers - if the evidence and data doesn't support you, just arrange to have the evidence and data erased or ignored.
