This market will resolve to “Yes” if Donald Trump’s approval rating according to Silver Bulletin is equal to or higher than the listed value for any date between January 1 and December 31, 2026. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. Note that the approval ratings for this date must be finalized before it is considered for this market (namely, once the next data point is available, the previous one is finalized). This market's resolution source will be Silver Bulletin' approval rating poll aggregator, https://www.natesilver.net/p/trump-approval-ratings-nate-silver-bulletin, specifically the approval rating indicated by the green trend line for the resolution date. Changes in the methodology by which Silver Bulletin calculates the approval rating will have no bearing on the resolution of this market. If Silver Bulletin's approval rating becomes permanently unavailable, RealClearPolitics will be used. If the approval rating for December 31 is not published by January 4, 2027, 12:00 PM ET (noon), this market will resolve according to all previous datapoints.President Donald Trump's approval ratings stand in the low 40s as of early April 2026, reflecting trader focus on persistent economic pressures like surging fuel prices and inflation alongside the escalating Iran conflict. Recent polls, including Reuters/Ipsos showing a March low of 36% and CNN's 31% approval for economic handling, underscore declines from steadier 43% levels earlier in the year, driven by foreign policy tensions and consumer costs. No major positive catalysts have emerged in the past 30 days, with Trump's recent Iran war address and Easter message failing to reverse sentiment. Upcoming midterm elections in November and potential de-escalation in Iran or economic relief represent key events that could influence peak ratings through year-end.
