Predicted for 25. October 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
Polymarket prices Lula's win at 62.5%, Flávio Bolsonaro's at 34.8% (as of August 2026). In a simulated runoff per Quaest poll: Lula 43% vs. Bolsonaro 40% — statistically tied, but Lula's broader coalition potential in the second round is a structural advantage (eliminated candidates' voters more often lean toward PT). A runoff is near-certain per a parallel open prediction. Lula's advantages: PT party apparatus and centrist support.
Data basis for this prediction
- Polymarket: Lula Wahlsieg 62,5%, Flávio Bolsonaro 34,8% (Stand Aug. 2026)
- Quaest-Umfrage: Lula 43% vs. Bolsonaro 40% in simulierter Stichwahl (Al Jazeera, 15. Aug. 2026)
- AS/COA Poll Tracker: Lula 38%, Bolsonaro 31% in Runde 1; Stichwahl nahezu sicher (Aug. 2026)
Verdict: Hit
Lula (PT) gewann die Stichwahl am 25. Oktober 2026 gegen Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) mit 51,79 % der gültigen Stimmen gegenüber 48,21 % für Bolsonaro (ca. 64,26 Mio. vs. 59,83 Mio. Stimmen). Der Sieg wurde vom Präsidenten des TSE Brasil offiziell verkündet (Quelle: tse.jus.br) und von internationalen Medien wie CNBC, NPR, Bloomberg und CNN Brasil bestätigt. Bemerkenswert: Flávio Bolsonaro hatte den ersten Wahlgang noch mit 47,03 % vor Lula (45,16 %) gewonnen — ein historisches Novum in der brasilianischen Demokratiegeschichte seit 1989. Das in der Vorhersage genannte strukturelle Argument (breiteres Koalitionspotenzial Lulas im zweiten Wahlgang durch Wähler eliminierter Kandidaten) traf exakt zu und war entscheidend für die Trendumkehr.

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.
