Description

This event group tracks whether Donald Trump's approval rating moves up or down during the week of April 10-17, 2026. Polymarket measures the change in Silver Bulletin's aggregated approval rating between these two dates, while Kalshi measures whether Trump's approval (via VoteHub) exceeds a specific threshold (40.2%) on April 16, 2026. Both markets assess Trump's approval trajectory but use different data sources and measurement methodologies.

PredictionHero - Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA)

Divergence Detected

Issue: The two platforms use different data sources and measurement methodologies for Trump's approval rating, creating potential for different resolution outcomes even if the underlying event (approval movement) is identical.Hero tip: If you trade both platforms, be aware that Polymarket uses Silver Bulletin's green trend line (one decimal precision) while Kalshi uses VoteHub's time-adjusted average (checked at a specific time). A rating could move between platforms due to methodology differences rather than actual approval change. Hedge accordingly or choose the platform whose source you trust more.

Critical divergence points:

  • Polymarket: Resolves based on whether Silver Bulletin approval rating (green trend line) is higher on April 17, 2026 versus April 10, 2026, with fallback to RealClearPolitics if Silver Bulletin becomes unavailable. Precision is one decimal point. Includes 50-50 tie resolution if ratings are identical.
  • Kalshi: Resolves YES if VoteHub time-adjusted average for Trump's approval is above 40.2% on April 16, 2026 (checked at April 17, 2026 at 10:00 AM ET). This is a threshold-based binary, not a directional comparison.
