Hit ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 16. September 2026 · Predicted for 27. October 2026 · Based on: Speculative
Probability
66%

The Knesset election on October 27, 2026 is seen as a referendum on Netanyahu's conduct since October 7, 2023. Current September 2026 polls (Jerusalem Post, i24NEWS) place Likud at ~27 seats (~22.5% of 120 seats) in one poll; the overall picture shows a near-tie between the Netanyahu bloc (~53 seats) and the opposition bloc (~53 seats). The 20.0% threshold corresponds to ~24 seats – below the current polling average, providing tolerance for moderate campaign-period decline.

Data basis for this prediction
  • Jerusalem Post: Latest Israeli election polls Sep 2026 – Likud ~27 seats in i24NEWS poll, bloc tie ~53/53
  • Britannica: 2026 Israeli Elections – Netanyahu bloc vs. Zionist opposition bloc each ~53 seats (Stand: Sep 2026)
  • Wikipedia: Opinion polling for 2026 Israeli legislative election (Stand: Sep 2026)
Verdict: Hit
Laut Live-Auszählung (Stand 29. Oktober 2026, ~98,6 % der Wahllokale ausgezählt) erzielte Likud ca. 20,69–20,7 % der gültigen Stimmen und gewann 26 Sitze (Quelle: poliwave.com/il/live/knesset-2026, thestateofisrael.com/election-2026/results, israelielection.org/results). Die Vorhersageschwelle von >20,0 % wurde damit klar übertroffen. Reuters und Haaretz berichteten zeitnah über die Ergebnisse (haaretz.com, 28. Oktober 2026). Offizielle Endresultate des Zentralen Wahlkomitees werden bis 4. November 2026 erwartet, sind aber angesichts des Auszählungsstands nicht mehr entscheidungsrelevant. Bemerkenswert: Der Oppositionsblock erreichte überraschend ~67 Sitze gegenüber Netanyahus Bloc mit ~53 Sitzen – ein deutlicher Verlust gegenüber Umfragen, jedoch berührt das nicht die spezifische Stimmenprozent-Schwelle für Likud.

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.
