One thing that poll writers learn very early in their training is that it is rarely useful to have an option exactly in the middle of the range. It makes it too easy for the respondees to chicken out of actually answering the question. When the only options are Yes/No or Approve/Disapprove, it forces people to think about the question and make an actual decision.
If you want more nuance than that in your choices, you can always go with ‘Strongly Agree’, ‘Somewhat Agree’, ‘Somewhat Disagree’, ‘Strongly Disagree’.
