4-bullet brief | narrative

Kalshi ladder implies approval below 43%: only 28% chance above 43%, dropping to 6% above 47%.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll showing a term-low approval is consistent with the market placing the most likely range well under 43%.
The companion below-ladder (CM-EVT-0DMSQTKVX3) puts 54% odds on approval below 36%, pointing to a wide downside distribution.
Resolution depends on a named approval-rating data source; polling aggregators can lag sharp single-poll moves by several days.
