Predicted for 3. November 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
Wisconsin elects a new governor on November 3, 2026. Tony Evers (D) is constitutionally term-limited after two terms. Wisconsin is a genuine swing state: Biden won it in 2020 by just +0.6%, Evers was re-elected in 2022 by ~+3.4%. Historical midterm patterns under a Republican president (Trump 2nd term) favour Democrats in competitive gubernatorial races (+6–8pp average vs. a normal election). The Milwaukee metro area and college cities (Madison, Green Bay) are demographically shifting toward Democrats. No Polymarket or Kalshi market found for this specific race; estimate based on structural analysis and midterm dynamics.

At the July 20, 2026 Sangiin election, 125 of 248 Upper House seats are up for election. In 2022, the LDP+Komeito coalition won 76 of 125 seats (61%). Current forecasts show the coalition facing significant losses: three opposition parties alone (Ishin ≥10 + DPFP ≥15 + Sanseito ≥8 = ≥33 seats minimum per Cassandra database). Combined with the CDP and other opposition forces, a result of fewer than 60 seats for the coalition would be a historic defeat. Polls in July 2026 (NHK, Asahi Shimbun) show continued declining support for the LDP.

Nippon Ishin no Kai has grown as Japan's third political force since 2022, with strongholds in Osaka and major urban centres. The weakened LDP/Komeito coalition (expected below 55 seats combined) creates room for opposition gains. Ishin emphasises fiscal efficiency and decentralisation — a popular urban profile. Winning 10 of 125 seats (8%) is within their historical performance range (2022: 12 seats). Proportional elements in upper-house constituencies reward Ishin's strongholds disproportionately. No Polymarket market; base estimate ~55%.

Polymarket (as of July 14, 2026) gives Democrats an 85% chance of winning the House. Democrats lead the generic ballot by 5–6 points (June 2026). Historically, the incumbent's party loses ~25 House seats in midterms; Republicans hold ~220 seats, so a loss of 3–4 seats flips the majority. Headwinds for Republicans: PPI +6.2% YoY, Hormuz crisis, weak consumer sentiment. Risk: gerrymandering, possible economic recovery by November. Senate race is separate (Polymarket: 55% Republicans retain Senate).
