Predicted for 13. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
Social Democrats poll at 30.5% in the PolitPro Election Trend and at a 30-day average of 31.8% (Polara.se, August 2026). The party benefits from incumbent fatigue against the Kristersson government (M/SD/KD/L) and strong competency perceptions on social and economic issues. The left bloc (S + V + MP) polls at 46.5% and is likely to enable government formation. The 30.0% threshold is near the lower polling range; historically Swedish polls slightly underestimate S by 1-2 percentage points. Liberalerna likely fails the threshold (separate open Cassandra prediction). No Polymarket market for this exact threshold.
Data basis for this prediction
- PolitPro Election Trend Schweden: Socialdemokraterna 30,5% (Stand August 2026, politpro.eu)
- Polara.se: Socialdemokraterna 31,8% im 30-Tage-Schnitt; Linksblock 46,5% (August 2026)
- Wikipedia: Riksdag-Wahl Schweden, 13. September 2026 – Projektierte S-Sitze: 110 von 349
- Valmyndigheten (Wahlbehörde Schweden): Offizielles Ergebnis nach Auszählung (13. September 2026)
Verdict: Miss
Socialdemokraterna erhielt laut Valmyndigheten 28,02 % der Stimmen (99 Sitze, 1.886.535 Stimmen) – deutlich unter der Schwelle von 30,0 %. Die Partei verlor sogar 2,3 Prozentpunkte gegenüber 2022. Die Umfragen (PolitPro 30,5 %, Polara 31,8 %) überschätzten S in diesem Zyklus, entgegen der historischen Annahme einer leichten Unterschätzung. Der Linksblock gewann dennoch mit 176:173 Sitzen knapp die Mehrheit. Quellen: val.se (Valmyndigheten), Wikipedia '2026 Swedish general election', Euronews 2026-09-17.

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.
