Partial Hit ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 11. September 2026 · Predicted for 4. October 2026 · Based on: Historical Cycle

Probability

87%

Flávio Bolsonaro has consolidated as the dominant right-wing candidate after São Paulo Governor Tarcísio de Freitas declined a presidential run. September 2026 polls: Quaest 29%, PoderData 34% for Bolsonaro in Round 1 (Lula: 36–37%). No other candidate (Cury 8%, Caiado 3%) is even close to second place. BTG/Nexus runoff scenario (Sept 8, 2026): Bolsonaro 46% vs. Lula 45% — statistical tie. The existing Cassandra prediction already confirms the runoff and Lula as narrow favorite; this prediction adds the identification of the runner-up in Round 1.

Verdict: Partial Hit

Flávio Bolsonaro zog tatsächlich in die Stichwahl (26. Oktober 2026) ein und übertraf mit ~47% der Stimmen die vorhergesagten >26% deutlich. Jedoch stimmt die Kernaussage 'als Zweitplatzierter' nicht: Bolsonaro gewann die erste Runde mit ~47% vor Lula (~45%) und war damit ERSTPLATZIERTER, nicht Zweitplatzierter. Die Prämisse der Vorhersage – Lula vorne, Bolsonaro auf Platz 2 – war falsch.

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.
