Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
PolitPro Election Trend (as of September 15, 2026) puts KPRF at 15.8% — well above its historical baseline of 8–10%. In Russia's wartime environment, the Communist Party channels both regime-loyal protest voters and latent anti-war sentiment with no other legal outlet. Historically, KPRF got 18.9% in 2021 (strong protest vote) but only 13.3% in 2016. Official counts in Russia frequently deviate downward from polls due to vote manipulation favouring United Russia, creating genuine risk the formal result stays below 15.0%. No Polymarket or Kalshi market found for this event.
Data basis for this prediction
- PolitPro Election Trend: KPRF 15,8 % (Stand 15. September 2026)
- Wikipedia: 2026 Russian legislative election – Prognosedaten
- ICDS: Analysis Russische Staatsduma-Wahlen 2026 (August 2026)
- Zentralwahlkommission Russland: Duma-Wahl 2021 – KPRF 18,9 %; 2016 – KPRF 13,3 %
Verdict: Miss
Die KPRF erhielt bei der russischen Staatsduma-Wahl vom 18.–20. September 2026 laut offiziellen Ergebnissen der Zentralwahlkommission ca. 13,67–13,76 % der Stimmen (Quellen: Meduza, Wikipedia '2026 Russian legislative election', Kommersant). Das liegt klar unter der Schwelle von 15,0 %. Einiges Russland erzielte mit ~57,9 % eine Rekordmehrheit (349 von 450 Sitzen), was exakt dem in der Vorhersagebegründung selbst als Risiko benannten Mechanismus entspricht: systematische Stimmenverschiebung zugunsten der Regierungspartei auf Kosten der KPRF. Die KPRF verlor gegenüber 2021 (18,9 %) deutlich und blieb mit ~14 % weit unter der Prognose von PolitPro (15,8 %) und der Vorhersageschranke von 15,0 %.

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.
