Trump by Numbers

Data that went dark

Official data sources frozen, deleted, or narrowed since January 2025 — and what the board uses instead.

These are official series this board uses, or would use, that have stopped publishing. It's a plain record: each row is a source, its last release, and what happened. The point isn't that the board's own numbers are stale — where an official window closed, the board moved to a still-current official source, shown in the last column. That the windows closed at all is itself part of the record.

The days-silent counts recompute every day, and a probable resumption is watched for automatically. Government dates last verified Aug 12, 2026.

Non-government source

Listed for completeness. This one isn't a government series, so it isn't part of the pattern above — it's a poll aggregator whose public feed went quiet.
