What the sources establish
No source provides the actual RCP 'President Trump Job Approval' table value at the required time. Third-party reports mention poll averages but do not give the specific 38.8% figure from the correct table row and column.
The evidence is not in the form this contract requires. The resolution source is the live RealClearPolitics table at the specified time. No evidence shows that table's content at 1:00 PM ET on Sep 24, 2026.
The event may well have happened. This contract does not resolve on that alone.
The named authority has not established this. The sources below report the event; the contract resolves on what its named source says.
