Miss ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 17. September 2026 · Predicted for 25. October 2026 · Based on: Historical Cycle

Probability

52%

Polymarket gives 54% to Bolsonaro and 45% to Lula in the overall winner market (as of 17 Sept 2026). Runoff polls paint a near-perfect tie: Datafolha 46:44 for Lula, AtlasIntel 46.4:46.2 for Lula, PoderData 47:45 for Bolsonaro, Quaest 41:41. Polymarket capital weighting implies a slight right-wing mobilisation premium potentially underrepresented in traditional polling. Consistent with open Cassandra predictions: no first-round winner (>50%), Lula >37% and Bolsonaro >30% in Round 1, placing the runoff on 25 October.

Data basis for this prediction

Polymarket: Bolsonaro 54 %, Lula 45 % (Brasilien Endsieger-Markt, Stand 17.09.2026)
Datafolha Stichwahl-Umfrage Aug 2026: Lula 46 % vs. Bolsonaro 44 %
AtlasIntel Stichwahl-Umfrage Sept 2026: Lula 46,4 % vs. Bolsonaro 46,2 %
AS/COA Brazil Poll Tracker (Sept 2026): Erste Runde Lula 38 % / Bolsonaro 33 %

Verdict: Miss

Lula (PT) gewann die Stichwahl am 25. Oktober 2026 mit 51,79 % gegen Flávio Bolsonaro (48,21 %) und sicherte sich damit eine vierte Amtszeit. Bolsonaro hatte die erste Runde (4. Oktober) mit ~47 % vs. Lulas ~45 % zwar überraschend angeführt, verlor aber die Stichwahl. Polymarkets 54 %-Vorteil für Bolsonaro und die rechts-mobilisierungs-adjustierten Umfragen überschätzten den Bolsonaro-Effekt. Die Vorhersage war in Teilaspekten korrekt (Stichwahl fand statt, enger Ausgang), benannte aber den falschen Gewinner. Quellen: NPR (25.10.2026), CNBC (26.10.2026), ZDF heute, bpb.de.

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).

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.
