    Gallup is an employee-owned corporation. i’m not sure where the funding for their presidential approval polling comes from

      employee-owned

      is such a euphemism, in my opinion. Law firms are often “employee-owned”.

      It has internal shareholders, they’re not a co-op, and should be viewed like any other for profit business.

          Oh yeah, no issue with how you’ve used it. I’m just publically grumbling about the term’s existence haha

      Me either, but I’m sure that famously litigious Trump didn’t threaten to sue them if they continued posting bad numbers like he’s threatened anyone who hurt his feelings.
