Modification proposals - Will Donald Trump be a good President, and why?

Modification proposal 10 accepted on 2020/09/26 03:05:45

The last change which went through with a very narrow vote of 51/49 created a problem. It rendered the question unusable with the appended yes/no answers. I am proposing two modifications: 1.Let us re-instate the original version to get rid of the unsuitable yes/now. 2. Let's replace Gallup with a combined source, Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight has such a composite. They describe here how they improve on the various individual approval trackers and it has the same history back to Truman in the year 1945: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-were-tra…

Question

Will Donald Trump be a good President, and why?

Judgement rule

I propose a change/modification to the Judgement rule. I do not feel it is fair that only one polling firm (Gallup) is used to determine the final approval rating of Donald Trump. I belive it should be sum total of several polling firms to get an accurate and true result. With a lot of research I have found that Rasmussen has an "unchallenged record for both integrity and accuracy."

The question shall be judged by the final - i.e. not the average - approval rating of Donald Trump as determined by Gallup USA at the end of his first presidency term. expected to finish in January 2021. If Donald Trump's presidency ends earlier, it shall be the last rating prior to this.
http://www.gallup.com/poll/116677/Presidential-Approval-Ratings-Gallup-Historical-Statistics-Trends.aspx

If Donald Trump's final approval rating puts him among the top 3 (1-3) presidents since Harry Truman the questions shall be judged "Very Good", a lower top 5 rank (4-5) is "Good". A place among the bottom 3 (11-13) shall make him "Very bad", a better bottom 5 rank (9-10) is just "Bad". A rank from 6-8 will be judged as "Average".

  I dont believe the proposal suggested just Rasmussen. The proposal stated it should be a sum total of several polling firms.to get a true and accurate result.. Using just the Gallup polls is not being neutral!!!!. They have a history of being inaccurate.
