I have always held Gallup up as America's polling gold standard. If I had to follow only one poll, I'd choose Gallup. That being said, Gallup's poll find's Trump at 38% Approval and 56% Disapproval: Minus 18%.

(8,652 posts)but the years of experience and Gallup's desire to change their system when they see some problems, encourage me. If you look at the past two years, Gallup is very much in line with the 538 national average. Maybe it's my age (I'm 66 today), but I remember when Gallup was the only polling outlet for national politics.
