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

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.

The company will also continue to conduct the annual Gallup World Poll, which measures public attitudes in about 140 countries around the world.

According to the Gallup's statement, these polls no longer represent an area where Gallup can make its most significant contribution.

The presidential approval ratings, which Gallup has published every month, are actively used by the media as a reliable source of information about public sentiment.

The latest survey results on the US president's approval rating were published by Gallup in December 2025, recording a drop in Donald Trump's approval rating to 36 percent.

Back in 2015, Gallup declined to publish approval ratings for US presidential candidates during the election campaign.
