Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

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.”

Bullshit, the pedophile threatened them somehow. Can't be a terrible president if you don't show the numbers.

It isnt a fucking coincidence after 8 God damn decades, the worst president on US history sits in office that they now decide to change things. Get the absolute fuck out of here. King pedophile, ruling class.

If they stop testing, the number of cases goes down.

The rates are so low that they don't need to measure anymore.

Na, there's just no more free and fair democratic elections, so the polls dont mean anything, and Gallup is, in essence, completely purposeless.

I'm sure the official statement will read more like

"Voters, they LOVE me. The approvals, my approval ratings, just tremendous. The BEST ratings anyone ever saw. So great they said to ME, "President Trump, we won't do this anymore". No more ratings. I FIXED ratings. Just like I fixed the ECONOMY and CRIME. Crooked Hillary could NEVER do that. Obama tried. He tried long and tried hard, I give him that. He COULDN'T do it. Only ME. Only I can fix it. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION."
