Predicted for 3. November 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
The historical midterm pattern is unambiguous: the incumbent US president's party lost the House majority in 8 of 10 cases since 1946. Republicans currently hold a slim majority (219 of 435 seats after 2024). Economic headwinds for the governing party: FOMC rate hike to 3.75–4.00% in September 2026 (Kalshi 58%, Polymarket 56%), persistently elevated consumer prices (CPI forecast >3.2% for October 2026). Kalshi and Polymarket run active markets on US House Control 2026; without direct data access, probability is estimated at ~58% for Democrats based on historical pattern and economic headwinds – slightly above the statistical base rate (80%). Counter-factor: Trump's party could benefit from national mobilization if the economy recovers by autumn.

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.
