Probability

83%

In the 2021 State Duma elections, United Russia won 324 out of 450 seats (72%). The party exercises near-total control over media, electoral authorities, and candidate registration. Despite economic pressures from sanctions and war costs, state-measured approval sits above 55%. Historically, United Russia has secured a supermajority in all Duma elections since 2003. A result below 300 seats would be a historic outlier requiring extreme political upheaval currently not in evidence. Metaculus consensus: >90% probability of party dominance.

Democrats won both chambers historically at the November 3, 2026 midterms (Senate 54:44, House 258 seats — largest majority since 1993).

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.
