    Question

    On January 6 2021, supporters of Donald John Trump stormed the United States Capitol following a rally held by President Trump in which he refused to accept defeat in the 2020 presidential election.

    The scale of the disorder has led some to propose that Trump be promptly removed from office before Biden is inaugurated.

    Trump's approval rating has been remarkably consistent for the past four years, ranging between approximately 37.1% to 45.8% according to the 538 average of polls. As of this writing, it stands at 42.8%.

    In light of these events, what will Trump's approval rating be on 18-Jan-2021?

    What will Trump's approval rating be on 18-Jan-2021?

    This question will resolve as the approval rating according to the 538 average of polls at noon EST on 18-Jan-2021.
