Russian State Duma election (September 20, 2026): United Russia (Edinaya Rossiya) exceeds 55.0% of party-list votes

Hit ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 19. September 2026 · Predicted for 20. September 2026 · Based on: Statistical Pattern
Probability
42%

In the 2021 Russian State Duma election, United Russia received 49.82% of party-list votes. In 2026, elections take place in the 4th year of the war in Ukraine. Wartime historically boosts ruling parties in authoritarian systems; Russian election administration also employs systematic mobilization measures. A result above 55% would be a significant jump (+5.2 pp vs. 2021) but is plausible given wartime dynamics and documented administrative influence in Russian elections. If this prediction hits, the existing open prediction (ER >49%) would also be satisfied. No Polymarket/Metaculus market found; calibrated from historical Russian election data.

Data basis for this prediction
  • Wikipedia / ipu.org: Russische Staatsdumawahl 2021 – Einiges Russland: 49,82 % (Quelle: CEC Russia, Stand: 19.09.2021)
  • Statista: Russian parliamentary election results 2021 (Einiges Russland 49,82 %)
  • Historische Analyse: Kriegszeiten-Effekt auf Regierungsparteien in autokratischen Systemen (Carnegie Endowment, 2022)
Verdict: Hit
Einiges Russland erzielte bei der Staatsdumawahl (18.–20. September 2026) ca. 57,83–58,79 % der Parteilistenstimmen – deutlich über der Schwelle von 55 %. Damit wurde die Vorhersage klar erfüllt. Quellen: Caliber.Az ('United Russia leads Russian State Duma vote with 57.86%'), Kommersant ('Единая Россия побеждает … с 57,87%'), Wikipedia '2026 Russian legislative election', Outlook India ('nearly 58%'). Der tatsächliche Zuwachs von ~8 Prozentpunkten gegenüber 2021 (49,82 %) fiel noch stärker aus als die angenommenen +5,2 PP.

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). 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).

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.
