Changes to Presidential Job Approval Tracking and Reporting

by

Beginning in 2018, ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½will start updating presidential job approval on a weekly basis, rather than on a daily basis.

¿Û¿Û´«Ã½remains committed to tracking presidential approval using probability-based, telephone interviewing, but is reducing the sample size from 3,500 to 1,500 U.S. adults per week. As a result, ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½will aggregate and report presidential job approval each week, rather than daily, beginning on Jan. 8 at 1 p.m. ET. We will continue to report subgroup differences for presidential job approval using the large sample sizes collected each month.

The ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½Poll Social Series surveys conducted each month, other standalone surveys, and periodic updates of other ¿Û¿Û´«Ã½trends and measures throughout the year will continue as they have with no change.
