Verdict: Miss

Lula (PT) gewann die Stichwahl am 25. Oktober 2026 mit 51,79 % der gültigen Stimmen gegen Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) mit 48,21 % (ca. 64,3 Mio. vs. 59,8 Mio. Stimmen). Die Vorhersage eines Bolsonaro-Jr.-Sieges trat also nicht ein. Laut NPR und CNBC war das Ergebnis eine Überraschung ('stunning victory'), da Flávio Bolsonaro im ersten Wahlgang noch vorne gelegen hatte. Entscheidend für Lulas Sieg war eine unerwartet hohe Wahlbeteiligung, die ihm genug zusätzliche Stimmen verschaffte. Die Polymarket-Preisbildung (~53 % Bolsonaro Jr. normiert auf den Zweikampf) unterschätzte die Mobilisierungsfähigkeit der Lula-Koalition in der Stichwahl.

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). 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).

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.
