Lula's runoff victory over Flávio Bolsonaro is already logged as a separate platform prediction. This prediction sharpens the claim with a concrete threshold: more than 52.0% of valid votes. Lula benefits as the incumbent president from the strong PT mobilization machine, a dominant base in Brazil's northeast (typically >70% there), and popular social programs like Bolsa Família. In the 2022 runoff he won narrowly with 50.9%; in 2026 he faces the lesser-known son of Jair Bolsonaro as an established incumbent. AS/COA polls (September 2026) point to a wider margin.

AS/COA Brazil 2026 Poll Tracker: Lula führt in allen Umfragen vs. Flávio Bolsonaro (Sep 2026)
Americas Quarterly Kandidaten-Guide 2026 (americasquarterly.org, Sep 2026)
TSE Wahlergebnis 2022: Lula 50,9 % der gültigen Stimmen (tse.jus.br)

Verdict: Miss

Lula gewann die Stichwahl am 25. Oktober 2026 gegen Flávio Bolsonaro und wurde mit 51,79 % der gültigen Stimmen (64.256.232 Stimmen) zum Präsidenten wiedergewählt. Der TSE verkündete das offizielle Ergebnis noch am selben Abend. Die Vorhersage verlangte jedoch einen Stimmanteil von *mehr als 52,0 %*, was knapp verfehlt wurde (−0,21 Prozentpunkte). Lulas Sieg fiel enger aus als erwartet, unter anderem weil Flávio Bolsonaro den ersten Wahlgang noch klar angeführt hatte (47,03 % vs. 45,16 % für Lula) und die Mobilisierung des bolsonarischen Lagers im Stichwahl-Endspurt stärker war als prognostiziert.

Alberto Núñez Feijóo (PP) secures parliamentary majority with Vox coalition and becomes Spanish Prime Minister — General Election 29 November 2026 (confirmed by Junta Electoral Central or AP by 1 December 2026)

Spain holds a general election on 29 November 2026. Polymarket prices Feijóo as next PM at 85%, Kalshi at 82% — both serve as anchors. A separate Polymarket market gives PP+Vox a 92% probability of a joint majority (>176/350 seats). Current polls (Sondaxe) show PP at 29.2% narrowly ahead of PSOE (26.9%); Vox is tracking slightly higher. Feijóo failed to form a government in 2023, but market odds reflect the lesson learned: PP+Vox is now seen as stable enough. No deviation from market anchor warranted.

Roger Wicker (Republican) retains the US Senate seat in Mississippi after recount — confirmed by AP or NBC News by 20 November 2026

With 97% of votes counted, Republican incumbent Roger Wicker leads by just 28 votes per NBC News live results (04.11.2026) — one of the closest Senate races in history. Mississippi election law requires an automatic recount when the margin falls below 0.5% of total votes, expected to conclude by 15–20 November. The remaining 3% of ballots originate primarily from rural precincts with historically higher Republican turnout, giving Wicker a slight statistical edge. No specific Polymarket market for Mississippi was identified.

Mary Peltola (Democrat) wins the US Senate seat in Alaska against Dan Sullivan (Republican) — US Midterm Elections November 3, 2026 (confirmed by AP or NBC News by November 5, 2026)

Polymarket gives Peltola a 72% win probability (as of November 3, 2026). The Democrat benefits from Alaska's Ranked Choice Voting system, which structurally favors cross-partisan candidates, as well as strong support from the Indigenous population and Alaska Native organizations. The national environment weighs on Sullivan: Polymarket gives Democrats a 72–77% probability of winning the Senate majority and 95% in the House. Early mail-ballot returns show a slight pro-Democratic lean in Alaska. Because Alaska uses ranked choice, a final count is not expected until November 5.
