Miss ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 17. September 2026 · Predicted for 20. September 2026 · Based on: Statistical Pattern
Probability
52%

PolitPro Election Trend (as of September 15, 2026) puts KPRF at 15.8% — well above its historical baseline of 8–10%. In Russia's wartime environment, the Communist Party channels both regime-loyal protest voters and latent anti-war sentiment with no other legal outlet. Historically, KPRF got 18.9% in 2021 (strong protest vote) but only 13.3% in 2016. Official counts in Russia frequently deviate downward from polls due to vote manipulation favouring United Russia, creating genuine risk the formal result stays below 15.0%. No Polymarket or Kalshi market found for this event.

Data basis for this prediction
  • PolitPro Election Trend: KPRF 15,8 % (Stand 15. September 2026)
  • Wikipedia: 2026 Russian legislative election – Prognosedaten
  • ICDS: Analysis Russische Staatsduma-Wahlen 2026 (August 2026)
  • Zentralwahlkommission Russland: Duma-Wahl 2021 – KPRF 18,9 %; 2016 – KPRF 13,3 %
Verdict: Miss
Die KPRF erhielt bei der russischen Staatsduma-Wahl vom 18.–20. September 2026 laut offiziellen Ergebnissen der Zentralwahlkommission ca. 13,67–13,76 % der Stimmen (Quellen: Meduza, Wikipedia '2026 Russian legislative election', Kommersant). Das liegt klar unter der Schwelle von 15,0 %. Einiges Russland erzielte mit ~57,9 % eine Rekordmehrheit (349 von 450 Sitzen), was exakt dem in der Vorhersagebegründung selbst als Risiko benannten Mechanismus entspricht: systematische Stimmenverschiebung zugunsten der Regierungspartei auf Kosten der KPRF. Die KPRF verlor gegenüber 2021 (18,9 %) deutlich und blieb mit ~14 % weit unter der Prognose von PolitPro (15,8 %) und der Vorhersageschranke von 15,0 %.

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.
