National debt is pulled from the U.S. Treasury Fiscal Data API. Refreshed every 6 hours.
  • Presidential, Congressional, and Supreme Court approval; country direction — Polling averages compiled from publicly reported surveys (Gallup, Reuters/Ipsos, Quinnipiac, Economist/YouGov, NBC, Rasmussen, etc.) as aggregated by RealClearPolitics. Linked back to the source. Updated weekly.
  • Prediction markets — Live probabilities from Polymarket, where participants trade contracts on political outcomes with real money. Probabilities reflect market consensus, not editorial endorsement. Refreshed every 15 minutes.
