Pronóstico: Trump out as President by August 31?

Platform comparison

Market context

Donald Trump leaving office by 31 August 2026 is still a low-probability event, with this market at 1% Yes despite a recent spike in resignation chatter around his health and his reduced public appearances over the past week.[1][2] The contract only pays if he permanently resigns, is removed, or otherwise ceases to be president; a temporary transfer of power does not count, so traders are not just watching headlines but the form and finality of any announcement.[2][5]

Historically, markets tend to keep these very short-dated presidential-exit contracts pinned near zero unless there is a clear, formal trigger. Comparable resignation and departure markets on prediction platforms have generally traded far higher only when there is visible institutional pressure, an explicit statement, or a confirmed removal pathway, while ordinary speculation about cabinet turnover or political trouble has not been enough to move the core presidency-exit price materially.[3][4][6] That makes the current 1% reading a statement about how narrow the path is, rather than a broad expectation of instability.[2][13]

For traders, the immediate catalysts are any White House announcement, verified report of a resignation plan, or evidence of a permanent removal process, because the market resolves to Yes immediately on an announcement even if the effective date comes later.[2] The key dependency is confirmation: rumours, leaks, or temporary incapacity would not qualify under the rules, so the line should only move sharply on explicit, official language or a legally binding step that ends his presidency before the deadline.[2][5]

FAQ

When do sports markets resolve?

Typically within hours of the official final whistle. Polymarket uses UMA Optimistic Oracle with source URLs pointing at official league data feeds — e.g. the Premier League for EPL markets, UEFA for Champions League, FIFA for World Cup.

Can I bet on individual matches?

Yes, Polymarket lists every major Premier League / Champions League / World Cup match as its own market. Liquidity varies — top matches like El Clásico or a semi-final often have six-figure pools, lower-league games closer to three-figure.

Which sports markets are available?

Football (soccer) dominates — Champions League, World Cup, Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga — followed by NFL, NBA, tennis Grand Slams, Formula 1, boxing/MMA. Resolution via official league source confirmation.

What's the difference between match odds and outright odds?

Match odds cover a single game ("Bayern beats BVB"). Outright odds are long-term aggregates ("Bayern wins the league"). Outright markets have deeper liquidity; match markets have faster resolution.

Can I import form data and lineups?

This page shows the live Polymarket quote as an implied probability. Form data and lineups must be researched separately via sports data providers (e.g. Soccerway, ESPN, FBref) — we surface the market probability, not the sport analysis.
