Based on: Speculative
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.

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.

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.
