Predicted for 3. November 2026
·
Based on: Speculative
Polymarket prices a 93% probability of Democrats winning the House majority. Supporting factors: (1) Historical pattern — the incumbent president's party loses an average of 25+ House seats in midterms; (2) Republican majority is razor-thin at ~5 seats, requiring minimal seat swings; (3) Economic headwinds: core PCE at 3.40% YoY and Fed rate 3.75–4.00% suppress consumer confidence; (4) The House follows the broader political trend (Senate majority also favoring Democrats per open platform prediction, ~63–65% Polymarket). Internal calibration: 91% — marginally more conservative than Polymarket (93%) to account for gerrymandered districts that can still produce surprises. Note: this prediction is complementary to the existing Senate majority prediction and not contradictory.

Verdict: Hit
Die Vorhersage ist eingetreten. Laut NBC News und AP gewannen die Demokraten bei den Midterm-Wahlen am 3. November 2026 die Mehrheit im US-Repräsentantenhaus. NBC News projizierte 258 demokratische Sitze (der höchste Wert seit 1993), mit über 35 gehaltenen bzw. gewonnenen Sitzen. Fox News beziffert die demokratischen Nettozugewinne auf +41 Sitze. Hakeem Jeffries wird als erster schwarzer Sprecher des Repräsentantenhauses in die Geschichte eingehen. Als Hauptursache nannten die Nachwahlbefragungen: Trumps Zustimmungsrate von 38 % und die Lebenshaltungskosten (89 % der Wähler nannten sie als entscheidend).

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).

Ukrainian, US, and Russian negotiators convene November 10–11 in Abu Dhabi. Russia conducted large-scale long-range strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure and logistics hubs on November 3–4; Ukraine responded with drone strikes on the Ryazan refinery. Positions on territory and security guarantees remain far apart. No Polymarket or Kalshi market covers this specific event; historical base rate for failure of comparable trilateral talks: >80%.

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.
