Predicted for 13. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
The most recent Swedish poll (Indikator, fieldwork August 6–23, 2026) shows SD at 19.7%. In the 2022 Riksdag election SD got 20.5%. As support party of the Kristersson government, SD benefits from governing proximity without direct responsibility; migration debate and crime topics continue to bolster its voter base. The 17.5% threshold implies a –2.2 pp miss vs. current polls — conservatively set. No direct Polymarket market found for SD's individual result.
Data basis for this prediction
- SD Riksdag-Wahl 2022: 20,5% (Valmyndigheten)
- Indikator-Umfrage (Feldarbeit 6.–23.08.2026): SD 19,7% (Wikipedia/Polara, Aug 2026)
- Moderaterna 17,6%, Socialdemokraterna 30,5% in derselben Umfrage (PolitPro, Aug 2026)
Verdict: Miss
Sverigedemokraterna erhielt laut offizieller schwedischer Wahlbehörde (val.se) exakt 17,48% der abgegebenen Stimmen – damit knapp unter der Schwelle von >17,5%. Die Vorhersage wurde somit hauchdünn verfehlt. SD erlitt erstmals seit 2010 einen Stimmenverlust (minus ~3 Prozentpunkte gegenüber 2022) und fiel auf den dritten Platz. Das Ergebnis lag zudem deutlich unter dem letzten Umfragewert von 19,7% (Indikator, August 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.
