Will Joe Biden's FiveThirtyEight approval rating be 41.5% or higher on May 28?

This market will resolve to “Yes” if Joe Biden's approval rating as reported by FiveThirtyEight will be greater than or equal to 41.5% for the day of May 28, 2022. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. The resolution source will be FiveThirtyEight's approval rating poll aggregator, https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/biden-approval-rating/, specifically the approval rating indicated by the green trend line for the resolution date. Changes in the methodology by which FiveThirtyEight calculates the approval rating will have no bearing on the resolution of this market. The resolution data for May 28 will be checked on May 29, 2022 (12 PM ET), and can only resolve after the check. If for any reason it is unavailable, the resolution source will be checked every 24 hours until the approval rating for the resolution date is available. If the approval rating remains unavailable on the resolution source after 7 days or Joe Biden is not President on the resolution date, this market will resolve according to the available approval rating nearest to the resolution date. Please note, the resolution source reports the rating value to only one decimal point (e.g. 42.8%, 33.9%, etc). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market.

How trading works

Polymarket uses a central limit order book (CLOB) model — you can buy or sell shares of any outcome at the current market price, or place limit orders at your target price. All positions are settled in USDC when the market resolves.

Resolution

Markets resolve through UMA's Optimistic Oracle. After the market closes, a proposer submits a resolution, followed by a 2-hour dispute window. If no dispute is raised, the resolution is accepted. Disputed markets go to UMA token holder vote.
