Predicted for 13. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
Liberalerna polls at just 2.0% in the current aggregate (August 13–24, 2026) — far below the 4% national threshold. Even allowing for a ±2pp polling error, the probability of clearing the threshold is very low. In 2022 the party barely entered parliament at 4.7%; the current slump to 2.0% reflects the structural decline of Sweden's liberal center. Doubling support in 2.5 weeks without a dramatic catalyst is historically unprecedented.
Data basis for this prediction
- Liberalerna: 2,0% (Umfragen-Aggregat 13.–24. August 2026, Wikipedia/SCB-Daten)
- Riksdag-Sperrklausel: 4% national ODER 12% in einem Wahlkreis (riksdagen.se)
- Riksdag-Wahl 2022: Liberalerna 4,7% (Valmyndigheten, Sept. 2022)
- Schwedische Riksdag-Wahl 2026 Überblick (riksdagen.se, August 2026)
Verdict: Miss
Die Vorhersage ist klar nicht eingetreten. Liberalerna erhielt am 13. September 2026 laut Valmyndigheten ca. 5,34 % der Stimmen (bei Auszählung von ~80 % der Wahlkreise stand sie bei 5,4 %) und gewann 19 der 349 Riksdag-Sitze — das sind 0,64 Prozentpunkte mehr als 2022. Parteichefin Simona Mohamsson feierte dies als 'historisches Comeback'. Die Vorhersage basierte auf Umfragen von ~2,0–2,3 %, was sich als massive Unterschätzung der tatsächlichen Wählermobilisierung erwies: Liberalerna-Anhänger dürften angesichts des drohenden Ausscheidens in überdurchschnittlich hoher Zahl strategisch mobilisiert worden sein (sog. 'threshold rally effect'). Quellen: val.se (Valmyndigheten), SVT Valresultat 2026 (valresultat.svt.se/2026/), Wikipedia 'Riksdagsvalet i Sverige 2026', Mappr Sweden Election 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.

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.
