Predicted for 27. October 2026
·
Based on: Speculative
Polymarket rates Gadi Eizenkot (Machane Mamlachti / National Unity) at 53% to become Israel's next Prime Minister, with Benjamin Netanyahu (Likud) at 29% (Polymarket, as of September 23, 2026, market volume ~$39 million). An existing platform prediction covers only voter turnout (>68%); no head-to-head election outcome prediction exists. Eizenkot's centrist alliance has broader coalition-building capacity than Netanyahu's religious-nationalist bloc, which favors receiving the presidential mandate from President Herzog. Polymarket anchor of 53% is adopted as baseline; own weighting yields ~52% accounting for Israeli coalition complexity and polling margin.
Data basis for this prediction
- Polymarket: Eizenkot 53 %, Netanyahu 29 % (nächster israelischer PM, Stand 23. September 2026, ~39 Mio. USD Volumen)
- Knesset-Wahl: 27. Oktober 2026 (Reuters / Knesset.gov.il)
- Bestehende offene Plattformvorhersage: Israelische Wahlbeteiligung >68 % (Konsistenz-Anker)
- Haaretz: Machane Mamlachti-Block mit breiterer Koalitionsfähigkeit (Haaretz, September 2026)
Verdict: Pending

Datafolha (September 15-17, 2026): Lula 39%, Flávio Bolsonaro 31% in the first round — an 8-percentage-point lead. AS/COA tracker and BTG Pactual/Nexus confirm Lula's consistent first-round lead (runoff: Lula 46% vs. Bolsonaro 45% — much tighter). This prediction is consistent with but strictly separate from open predictions (Lula >42% and Bolsonaro >35%): both can coexist without Lula necessarily leading. The 80-year-old Lula holds a structural advantage in the first round as incumbent with a broad coalition. Flávio Bolsonaro's runoff surge reflects right-consolidation but does not erode Lula's first-round lead.

Polymarket sees 66% probability for a Democratic Senate majority (as of September 23, 2026); Metaculus sees 59% for a Republican majority — both markets show a tight but slightly pro-Democratic race. Key swing-state races: Texas (Talarico D vs. Paxton R: ~62% Democrat), Ohio (Brown D vs. Husted R: ~63% Democrat), Maine (Jackson D vs. Collins R: ~74% Democrat), Iowa (50/50). Historically, the opposition benefits from anti-incumbent sentiment in midterms: Trump's second term, the US-Iran crisis, and persistent core inflation above 3% (US Core PCE ≥3.1% per open Cassandra prediction) should provide mobilization tailwind. Caveat: Structurally difficult 2026 Senate map (Democrats defending more seats) and gerrymandering effects could flip individual seats. The separate open House majority prediction (Democrats 93% per Polymarket) is independent of this.

The new Swedish Riksdag constitutes on September 28, with formal parliamentary opening on September 29. Speaker Andreas Norlén tasked Andersson (Social Democrats) with government formation on September 18; the centre-left bloc holds 176 of 349 seats (razor-thin majority). A vote by September 29–30 requires coalition talks to conclude in under two weeks — unlikely given the Left Party/Centre Party standoff (Left insists on ministerial roles; Centre categorically refuses Left Party participation). Base case: vote in the October 1–7 window. The low probability reflects this structural bottleneck.
