Predicted for 4. October 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
Current polls (AS/COA Poll Tracker, 15 August 2026) show Flávio Bolsonaro at 31–40% (average ~35–36%), Lula at 38–43%. A runoff is likely; a compatible open prediction on this platform expects Lula to fall short of 50%. Polymarket signals a first-round Lula failure as probable. A Bolsonaro result below 33% would imply a significant polling underestimation. This prediction is fully compatible with the runoff scenario (25 October 2026).
Data basis for this prediction
- AS/COA Poll Tracker Brasilienwahl: Bolsonaro 31–40%, Lula 38–43% (15. August 2026)
- Al Jazeera: 'Lula holds slim lead over Flávio Bolsonaro ahead of Brazil election' (15. August 2026)
- Polymarket Brazil Presidential Election 2026 (August 2026)
Verdict: Hit
Flávio Bolsonaro erzielte im ersten Wahlgang am 4. Oktober 2026 laut übereinstimmenden Berichten 47,03 % der gültigen Stimmen – weit über der Schwelle von 33,0 %. Lula kam auf 45,16 %. Beide zogen in die Stichwahl am 25. Oktober 2026 ein. Die Vorhersage wurde damit klar erfüllt; Bolsonaro übertraf sogar die Umfrage-Durchschnittswerte (~35–36 %) deutlich.

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.
