Hit ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 7. September 2026 · Predicted for 3. November 2026 · Based on: Historical Cycle

Probability

85%

All 435 US House seats are contested on November 3, 2026. Polymarket assigns Democrats an 88% win probability for the House; Silver Bulletin and Race to the WH concur. Structural factors favour the opposition: the president's party loses an average of 26 House seats in midterms historically; Trump's approval sits in the high 30s per aggregated polls. The generic congressional ballot shows Democrats at D+6–7 points. With Republicans currently holding 220+ seats, Democrats need to net approximately 8–10 seats – well within historical norms. Polymarket sees 88% for Democrats in the House.

Data basis for this prediction

Polymarket: Demokraten gewinnen das Repräsentantenhaus mit 88 % Wahrscheinlichkeit (polymarket.com, 7. September 2026)
Generic Congressional Ballot: Demokraten D+6–7 Punkte (aggregierte Umfragen August 2026, Silver Bulletin / Nate Silver)
Trump-Zustimmungswerte: hohe 30er % (aggregierte Umfragen, August 2026, Yahoo News / racetothewh.com)

Verdict: Hit

Die Vorhersage ist eingetreten. Bei den US-Midterm-Wahlen am 3. November 2026 errangen die Demokraten die Mehrheit im Repräsentantenhaus mit deutlichem Vorsprung. Laut AP (Stand 5. November 2026) wurden 229 Sitze für Demokraten und 139 für Republikaner bestätigt (67 Rennen noch nicht entschieden) – weit über der erforderlichen Schwelle von 218 Sitzen. CBS News und US News berichteten übereinstimmend von einem historisch deutlichen Sieg: 254 Sitze für Demokraten vs. 162 für Republikaner (19 Rennen noch offen). Demokraten gewannen netto etwa 40 Sitze (43 Distriktwechsel zu den Demokraten, 2 zu den Republikanern), was das prognostizierte nötige Nettoplus von 8–10 Sitzen weit übertraf.

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.
