Predicted for 3. November 2026

Based on: Speculative
Polymarket prices a 93% probability of Democrats winning the House majority. Supporting factors: (1) Historical pattern — the incumbent president's party loses an average of 25+ House seats in midterms; (2) Republican majority is razor-thin at ~5 seats, requiring minimal seat swings; (3) Economic headwinds: core PCE at 3.40% YoY and Fed rate 3.75–4.00% suppress consumer confidence; (4) The House follows the broader political trend (Senate majority also favoring Democrats per open platform prediction, ~63–65% Polymarket). Internal calibration: 91% — marginally more conservative than Polymarket (93%) to account for gerrymandered districts that can still produce surprises. Note: this prediction is complementary to the existing Senate majority prediction and not contradictory.

Latvia holds its 14th Saeima election (100 seats, 5% threshold, proportional system) on October 3, 2026. Apvienotais saraksts (AS) clearly leads current polls at 23.4% (as of September 2026, source: politpro.eu), far ahead of Progresīvie (12.3%) and Jaunā Vienotība (JV), which has collapsed to ~7% — a dramatic drop from 19% in 2022. AS has established itself as the dominant force in Latvian politics since its formation as an electoral alliance. No Polymarket market available; own estimate based on current polls: 62%. Risk: high voter volatility and fragmented coalition arithmetic in Latvia's multi-party Saeima.

All current polls (BTG Nexus/Nexus Pesquisas, Sept 28: Lula 42%, F. Bolsonaro 37%; Datafolha: Lula 41%) consistently place Lula above 40%. The AS/COA Poll Tracker shows Lula above 40% in every September survey. This prediction is consistent with existing open Cassandra forecasts ('runoff needed' and 'Bolsonaro >35%'): at Lula 42% + Bolsonaro 37%, neither a majority nor a contradiction arises. A second round on October 25 is near-certain.

Latest polls (Datafolha: Lula 40%, Flávio Bolsonaro 36%; AtlasIntel: Lula 45.8%, Bolsonaro 43.4%; Quaest: Lula 37%, Bolsonaro 33%; as of September 22–24, 2026) show no candidate above the 50% threshold. The open platform prediction expects Bolsonaro above 35%, implying a runoff. In Brazil's electoral history since 1989, 6 of 8 presidential elections required a second round (exceptions: FHC 1994 and 1998). Polymarket implies ~88% probability of a runoff (September 30, 2026). Runoff date: October 25, 2026.
