Verdict: Miss
Lula (PT) gewann den zweiten Wahlgang am 25. Oktober 2026 mit über 51 % der Stimmen gegen Flávio Bolsonaro (PL, ~48 %), ein Vorsprung von mehr als 3 Prozentpunkten. Das TSE bestätigte Lulas Wahlsieg (sein historisch viertes Mandat). Trotz Flávios Erstrundenführung (47,03 % vs. 45,16 %), konstanter Umfragenführung (Datafolha 52 %, Ipespe 52,7 %) und hoher Vorhersagewahrscheinlichkeit auf Polymarket (88 %) gelang es Lula, den Rückstand aufzuholen und die Wahl zu gewinnen.

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).

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.
