Predicted for 13. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
Liberalerna (L) is polling at approximately 2% in current surveys (PolitPro trend, 25 August 2026) – massively below the 4% threshold. The gap of 2 percentage points is historically rarely bridged in the final campaign weeks without an external shock. Comparable coalition partners show comfortable buffers: Centerpartiet (C) 7.6%, Kristdemokraterna (KD) 6.4%. The PolitPro forecast model implies >85% probability of L failing to enter the Riksdag.
Data basis for this prediction
- PolitPro Election Trend Schweden – Liberalerna ca. 2 % (Stand 25. Aug 2026)
- Wikipedia – Opinion polling for the 2026 Swedish general election
- Valmyndigheten – Riksdag 4%-Sperrklausel (val.se)
- democracy-pulse.com – Sweden Election Polls 2026 (Aug 2026)
Verdict: Miss
Liberalerna überwand die 4 %-Sperrklausel und zog mit 5,4 % (ca. 342.575 Stimmen, 19 Mandate) in den Riksdag ein. Quelle: Valmyndigheten / val.se (offizielles Ergebnis 2026) sowie Wikipedia 'Riksdagsvalet i Sverige 2026'. Die Partei verdoppelte ihr Umfrageergebnis von ~2 % (August 2026) auf über 5 % am Wahltag – offenbar ein klassischer Late-swing/Leihstimmen-Effekt innerhalb des bürgerlichen Blocks in den letzten Wahlwochen.

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.
