Predicted for 25. October 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
Polymarket prices Lula's win at 62.5%, Flávio Bolsonaro's at 34.8% (as of August 2026). In a simulated runoff per Quaest poll: Lula 43% vs. Bolsonaro 40% — statistically tied, but Lula's broader coalition potential in the second round is a structural advantage (eliminated candidates' voters more often lean toward PT). A runoff is near-certain per a parallel open prediction. Lula's advantages: PT party apparatus and centrist support.
Data basis for this prediction
- Polymarket: Lula Wahlsieg 62,5%, Flávio Bolsonaro 34,8% (Stand Aug. 2026)
- Quaest-Umfrage: Lula 43% vs. Bolsonaro 40% in simulierter Stichwahl (Al Jazeera, 15. Aug. 2026)
- AS/COA Poll Tracker: Lula 38%, Bolsonaro 31% in Runde 1; Stichwahl nahezu sicher (Aug. 2026)
Verdict: Hit
Lula (PT) gewann die Stichwahl am 25. Oktober 2026 gegen Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) mit 51,79 % der gültigen Stimmen gegenüber 48,21 % für Bolsonaro (ca. 64,26 Mio. vs. 59,83 Mio. Stimmen). Der Sieg wurde vom Präsidenten des TSE Brasil offiziell verkündet (Quelle: tse.jus.br) und von internationalen Medien wie CNBC, NPR, Bloomberg und CNN Brasil bestätigt. Bemerkenswert: Flávio Bolsonaro hatte den ersten Wahlgang noch mit 47,03 % vor Lula (45,16 %) gewonnen — ein historisches Novum in der brasilianischen Demokratiegeschichte seit 1989. Das in der Vorhersage genannte strukturelle Argument (breiteres Koalitionspotenzial Lulas im zweiten Wahlgang durch Wähler eliminierter Kandidaten) traf exakt zu und war entscheidend für die Trendumkehr.

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.
