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 have trended downward since his January 2025 inauguration, reaching lows around 34 percent in recent May 2026 polls amid the ongoing conflict with Iran and voter concerns over inflation and living costs. The February 2026 launch of coordinated U.S. and allied military operations against Iran has emerged as a central factor, with majorities viewing the action as a mistake and expressing dissatisfaction that has elevated overall disapproval to record levels near 62 percent. Economic pressures, including rising prices, have further weighed on support even among Republicans, while strong partisan backing on immigration has provided limited offset. With the November 2026 midterms approaching, traders are monitoring any potential de-escalation in foreign policy or shifts in economic indicators that could lift ratings before year-end, alongside the typical volatility seen in second-term polling averages.
