Brazilian Presidential Election (1st round, October 4, 2026): Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) finishes second behind Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) (confirmed by Tribunal Superior Eleitoral or AFP)

Miss ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 24. August 2026 · Predicted for 4. October 2026 · Based on: Ongoing Event

Probability

82%

Polymarket prices an 86% probability that Flávio Bolsonaro (Jair Bolsonaro's eldest son, Senator for Rio de Janeiro, campaign launched July 25, 2026) finishes second in the first round. Lula leads polls with ~62.5% implied total Polymarket probability; Flávio sits at ~30–35%. Since no candidate will reach 50%+ in the first round, a runoff on October 25, 2026 will follow. Jair Bolsonaro is ineligible after his conviction (coup case, August 2025). Main risk for Bolsonaro's second place: a surprise strong showing by a center candidate (Simone Tebet/MDB at 8–12%) could push Flávio to third.

Verdict: Miss

Die Vorhersage war falsch in der Platzierung: Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) belegte im ersten Wahlgang am 4. Oktober 2026 den ERSTEN Platz (47,03 %, 56,1 Mio. Stimmen), während Lula (PT) mit 45,16 % (53,9 Mio. Stimmen) auf den zweiten Platz kam – also genau umgekehrt. Beide ziehen erwartungsgemäß in die Stichwahl am 25. Oktober 2026 ein, und kein Kandidat erreichte eine absolute Mehrheit. Quellen: Wikipedia '2026 Brazilian general election', NPR (04.10.2026), Americas Quarterly.

Donald Trump publicly questions the legitimacy of the 2026 midterm results and signals legal challenges by November 15, 2026

Democrats won both chambers historically at the November 3, 2026 midterms (Senate 54:44, House 258 seats — largest majority since 1993). Trump's disapproval rating stands at 62% (FiveThirtyEight, Nov 2026). Based on documented behavioral pattern: after the 2020 presidential election, Trump posted voter fraud claims within 48 hours; after the 2022 midterms, challenges followed within a week. Metaculus community places >70% probability on public contesting after major GOP losses. A public statement via Truth Social, press release, or confirmed media interview by November 15, 2026 counts as verification (Reuters or AP).

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.
