Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve to "Up" if Donald Trump's Silver Bulletin approval rating is higher on May 8, 2026, than on May 1, 2026. This market will resolve to "Down" if Donald Trump's Silver Bulletin approval rating is higher on May 1, 2026, than on May 8, 2026. This market will resolve to 50-50 if Donald Trump's Silver Bulletin approval rating is the same on each date. The data point for the second reference date will only be considered once a subsequent day’s data point has been published, thereby finalizing the value for the second date. If no data point is published for the first reference date, the most recent prior day with a published data point will be used instead.
PolyGram is an on-chain prediction market where you trade YES or NO outcome shares with real USDC on Polygon. For this market, buy YES if you believe the event will happen, or NO if you think it won't. Your maximum loss is your stake — winning shares pay $1.00 each at resolution. Unlike sportsbooks, there is no house edge: prices are set by supply and demand from other traders and reflect the crowd's real-time probability.
Market outcomes
| Trump approval Up or Down this week? | 0% YES | 100% NO |
Trump's approval rating will be measured against the Silver Bulletin index between 1 May and 8 May 2026, with settlement determined by comparing the published figures on those two dates. The current order book on Polymarket reflects zero probability of an approval increase during this seven-day window, suggesting traders expect either a decline or flat movement. This extreme positioning indicates either high confidence in deteriorating sentiment or sparse liquidity at current price levels.
Historical approval tracking shows Trump's ratings have exhibited volatility tied to specific events—legislative outcomes, legal proceedings, economic data releases, and geopolitical developments typically drive weekly shifts. The Silver Bulletin methodology aggregates multiple polling sources, which can produce smoother movements than individual polls but still responds to major news cycles. Comparable weekly resolution markets on Trump approval have occasionally resolved to 50-50 splits when ratings remained static, though directional moves are more common when significant events occur.
Traders should monitor scheduled announcements during the settlement window, including economic indicators, Congressional activity, and any legal calendar events that might affect public sentiment. The May timeframe historically coincides with spring legislative sessions and quarterly earnings seasons, both potential catalysts for broader political sentiment shifts. Settlement depends on Silver Bulletin publishing data points for both reference dates, with the second date's value only finalised once subsequent day data is released, creating a dependency on publication timing beyond the formal resolution date.
Resolution is handled by the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour dispute window opens, and if no one stakes a counter-claim the payout is final. Contested outcomes escalate to UMA token-holder voting. Payouts clear in USDC to the winning side.
The mechanics for trading "Trump approval Up or Down this week?" are the same as any other PolyGram event contract. Each YES share resolves to $1 if the event happens, or $0 if it doesn't. The current price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the market's probability estimate, set live by the order book.
$5K in lifetime turnover and $0 of resting liquidity puts this market in the below the median by volume for trump contracts on PolyGram. Order-book depth is thin — large orders may need to be split across the book or executed as limit orders.
The market has been open for under a month — fresh enough that information asymmetry remains a real factor.
Higher-volume markets tend to have tighter spreads and faster price discovery — meaning the displayed YES/NO percentages are more likely to reflect the true crowd-implied probability rather than a single trader's directional view.
