Predicted for 27. October 2026
·
Based on: Speculative
Current polls (Channel 13 Israel, Times of Israel, October 2026) show Netanyahu's right-wing coalition (Likud + religious + right-wing parties) at only 49–53 seats — far below the 61-seat majority threshold. A Channel 13 survey attributes exactly 61 seats to the Zionist opposition bloc (Yashar 21, Ichud/Bennett 15, Yesh Atid + other center-left parties). The threshold of 58 seats allows a buffer of approximately ±3 seats for typical polling error. No direct Polymarket/Kalshi market found for the opposition bloc seat range; calibration based on current polling aggregates. This prediction does not contradict the open forecast 'Likud wins the most mandates' — Likud can be the largest individual party while the opposition bloc still reaches ≥58 seats.
Data basis for this prediction
- Channel 13 Israel Umfrage: Oppositionsblock 61 Sitze, Netanyahu-Block 49–53 Sitze (Oktober 2026)
- Times of Israel: 'Opposition bloc led by Eisenkot would win narrow 61-seat majority' (Oktober 2026)
- IsraelEd.org: 2026 Israeli Election Polling — aggregierte Umfragen (Oktober 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).

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.
