Probability

56%

Polymarket gives Lula 56% overall win probability in the 2026 election (Polymarket.com, Aug 31, 2026). Runoff polls show a statistical tie: Quaest (Lula 43% / Flávio Bolsonaro 40%), Nexus and PoderData (Lula +1pt), Vox Brasil (Bolsonaro +0.6pt) — all within the margin of error. Lula leads the first round with ~38% vs. ~31% for Flávio Bolsonaro (polls Aug 18–27, 2026, Al Jazeera / Rio Times). Structural advantages for Lula: incumbent bonus, Bolsa Família program, solid GDP growth. Polarization is extremely high; Bolsonaro camp has strong mobilization capacity. Calibration at Polymarket anchor: 56%.

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).

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.
