Bringing up CNN or Ipsos as counters to Biden's recent approval numbers, both of which aren't seen as strong polls, doesn't challenge or counter Gallup's poll results, when CNN uses Gallup numbers for reporting and editorials as well.

Again, I'm not sure CNN or Ipsos were brought up as counter to Gallup, or that your use of the Gallup poll was questioned at all.
The question was why USA Today, which has a pretty depressed rating comparatively, and not CNN or Ipsos or even the aggregate (since you were comparing it to the Gallup, which is different).
Basically the comment is that it was odd you didn't just use the most recent Gallup poll, and that even in not doing so you chose USA Today of all choices.
