Justin McCarthyspokesperson for the prestigious demographic consultancy Gallupannounced this Wednesday that his organization will stop following the presidential popularity index, which regularly measured the opinion of Americans about their presidents.
In the survey corresponding to the month of last December, Trump obtained 36% acceptance. The value recorded in November is repeated, far from the 47% reached in January 2025. The data is close to the historic 34% measured after the assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Gallup’s decision to abandon the president’s popularity analysis comes a few weeks after Trump reacted to the results published by the New York newspaper.
“This survey will be added to my lawsuit against the failed New York Times. Our lawyers have demanded that they preserve all records and how they ‘computed’ these false results. They will be fully responsible of all his lies and misdeeds of the radical left,” Trump declared from his social network Truth Social.
In his appearance, the Gallup executive wanted to separate the consulting firm’s decision from the president’s statements. He assured that he will stop producing data on “individual political figures” and that the change exclusively addresses the priorities of your organization.
“This is a strategic change based solely on Gallup’s research goals and priorities, and is part of a broader effort underway to align all of Gallup’s public work with its mission,” he explained.
Gallup was the first sociometric research firm to ask Americans if they approved of their president’s performance. The investigations began 88 years ago, when Franklin D. Roosevelt occupied the Oval Office and had never been interrupted.
