Analysis

This market estimates a 24% chance that Donald Trump's approval rating will exceed 45% at some point between December 2025 and December 2026, based on VoteHub data. The low probability reflects market expectations that his approval will remain constrained during this period. Related contracts show traders assign higher odds (43-83%) to his approval staying below 35-38%, suggesting consensus centers on a lower approval range. The gap between this 45% threshold and the range below 38% indicates meaningful uncertainty about whether his approval could recover to stronger levels. Key drivers include economic conditions, major legislative outcomes, and external events during the 12-month window. Monthly approval releases from VoteHub will continuously update expectations as actual ratings emerge, particularly if near-term data shows movement toward or away from the 45% level.

  • The current leader contract (24¢) reflects belief approval stays below 45% for the entire Dec 2025-Dec 2026 period, while the 38% threshold contract (83¢) implies 83% odds approval never exceeds 38%
  • Economic data releases, quarterly GDP reports, and employment figures during 2026 will directly influence approval trends and retest this threshold
  • VoteHub's monthly approval ratings provide objective, measurable data points that will resolve outcome uncertainty without interpretation
  • The 20¢ price on a May 2026 above-40% outcome suggests near-term approval is expected to remain constrained below historical presidential averages
  • A gap exists between moderate confidence in sub-38% outcomes versus lower confidence in sub-33% outcomes (27¢), indicating some tail risk to higher approval readings

How we compute these odds

SimpleFunctions aggregates live prediction-market contracts from Kalshi and Polymarket. Each slug groups contracts that resolve on the same underlying event, identified by venue event_id.

For binary slugs, the headline probability is the liquidity-weighted mid-price across all bound contracts. For multi-outcome slugs (e.g. elections with 3+ candidates), the headline is the leader’s price; we never arithmetically average disjoint outcomes — that would produce a number with no real-world meaning.

Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours; daily aggregates are computed at 04:00 UTC. The 30-day sparkline is drawn from per-ticker daily means stored in market_indicator_daily; 24h delta and movement events are derived from the same source.
