Predicted for 4. October 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
In round 1 on 4 October 2026, incumbent Lula (PT) is expected to finish first without an absolute majority (runoff on 25 October — separate open platform prediction). Historical reference: Lula received ~48.4% in round 1 in 2022 (TSE). As an incumbent with broad institutional support against a divided far-right camp (Flávio Bolsonaro predicted in second place with >26%), a >46% result is plausible, though economic frustration and approval fluctuations could narrow the margin. No Polymarket data found for this specific threshold; calibrated probability: ~52%.
Data basis for this prediction
- TSE (Tribunal Superior Eleitoral): Lula 48,43 % im 1. Wahlgang 2022 — historische Referenz
- Cassandra.news (offene Vorhersagen): Bolsonaro >26 % als Zweitplatzierter; kein Kandidat mit absoluter Mehrheit (1. Runde 4. Oktober 2026)
- Recherche: Kein Polymarket-Wert für >46%-Schwellenwert Lula R1 gefunden (11. September 2026)
Verdict: Miss
Lula da Silva erzielte in der 1. Runde am 4. Oktober 2026 laut TSE ca. 45,1–45,2 % der gültigen Stimmen – und damit knapp unter dem Schwellenwert von 46,0 %. Überraschenderweise lag Flávio Bolsonaro mit ca. 47,0 % sogar vor Lula, was auf eine stärkere Mobilisierung des rechten Lagers hindeutete als erwartet. Die Vorhersage eines Ergebnisses >46 % trat damit nicht ein.

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.

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.

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.
