Welp, Gallup is no longer a source of viable anything, let along survey data:
February: Gallup says that due to cost reasons it will no longer do presidential approval polling
May: Gallup says it is exploring "digital twin" technology that replaces human respondents with AI/LLM-generated answers
Gallup Begins Research on Simulated Responses
Gallup is exploring whether AI-generated agents perform well in predicting people's responses and where they fall short.

@CStamp Their data was always a bit questionable, but popular (ahem). Now they’re exploring ‘what if we just totally made shit up?’

@octothorpe I knew there was a reason to not trust polls.

@gbargoud outlook not so good!
I guess the downside to magic 8 balls is that the answers would actually be random and you can't really seed them to say what you want them to like you can with AI agents

@gbargoud I mean, you keep shaking until you get the result you want. Not unlike Gallup’s existing methodology, really.
