Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) wins the Brazilian presidential runoff election (October 25, 2026)

Hit ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 25. August 2026 · Predicted for 25. October 2026 · Based on: Speculative

Probability

57%

Current runoff polls consistently show incumbent Lula (PT) ahead of Flávio Bolsonaro (PL): AtlasIntel/Bloomberg (July 1, 2026) shows 48.8% vs. 42.3%; Datafolha (June 2026) 47% vs. 43%. Lula benefits from incumbency advantage and a broad center-left coalition (PT, MDB, União Brasil). Flávio Bolsonaro commands a mobilizable conservative base, but operates without the direct pull of his father Jair (who faces an electoral ban). Brazilian runoff patterns tend to favor the first-round leader; the center bloc historically votes against the Bolsonaro camp in runoffs. Al Jazeera reported on August 15, 2026 that Lula maintains a sustained 'slim lead'.

Data basis for this prediction

AtlasIntel/Bloomberg Stichwahl-Umfrage (01.07.2026): Lula 48,8 % — Flávio Bolsonaro 42,3 %
Datafolha Stichwahl-Umfrage (Juni 2026): Lula 47 % — Flávio 43 %
Al Jazeera: 'Lula holds slim lead over Flávio Bolsonaro ahead of Brazil election' (15.08.2026)
AS/COA Poll Tracker Brazil 2026: Lula führt konsistent in allen Stichwahl-Szenarien (Stand Aug 2026)

Verdict: Hit

Lula (PT) gewann die Stichwahl am 25. Oktober 2026 mit 51,79 % der gültigen Stimmen gegenüber 48,21 % für Flávio Bolsonaro (PL), einem Vorsprung von ca. 4,43 Mio. Stimmen (Quellen: NPR, Vatican News/TSE-Daten, Al Jazeera). Die Vorhersage traf ein, obwohl Lula den ersten Wahlgang am 4. Oktober überraschend verloren hatte (47,03 % für Bolsonaro vs. 45,16 % für Lula) – was die angenommene Wahrscheinlichkeit von 57 % im Nachhinein als eher konservativ ausweist. Entscheidend für Lulas Aufholjagd im zweiten Wahlgang waren exakt die in der Begründung genannten Faktoren: Mitte-Links-Koalition (PT/MDB/União Brasil) und das tendenziell gegen den Bolsonaro-Block stimmende Mitte-Lager.

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.
