Russian State Duma election (September 20, 2026): LDPR (Leonid Slutsky) wins more than 7.0% of votes cast

Hit ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 16. September 2026 · Predicted for 20. September 2026 · Based on: Ongoing Event
Probability
68%

In the Russian State Duma election (September 18–20, 2026, three-day format), the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) under Leonid Slutsky is competing as the Kremlin-licensed systemic opposition. The LDPR has obtained between 8 and 14% in every Duma election since 1993 and has always been kept above the 5% threshold. Available polls (severely censored) show the LDPR at approximately 8–9%. The party serves as an institutional outlet for nationalist sentiment and is indispensable to the Kremlin — a result below 7.0% would be politically dysfunctional. No open Polymarket market found for LDPR result; calibration based on historical results and institutional function.

Data basis for this prediction
  • Wikipedia: 2026 Russian legislative election – LDPR historische Ergebnisse 8–14% seit 1993 (Stand Sep 2026)
  • The Moscow Times 02.07.2026: Russia Duma election overview – LDPR als Kreml-lizenzierte Opposition
  • ICDS.ee Analysis Sep 2026: 'Ergebnisse im Kreml entschieden' – Systemparteien über Hürde gehalten
  • politpro.eu/en/russia: LDPR Umfragestand ~8–9% in verfügbaren Sep-2026-Erhebungen
Verdict: Hit
Die LDPR unter Leonid Slutsky erzielte bei der russischen Staatsduma-Wahl vom 18.–20. September 2026 laut offiziellen Auszählungsergebnissen ca. 8,77 % der abgegebenen Stimmen (englischsprachige Quellen berichten von ~9,06 %), womit sie deutlich über der Schwelle von 7,0 % lag. Die Partei belegte Platz drei hinter der Einheitlichen Russland (~57,85 %) und der KPRF (~13,83 %). Die Vorhersage war damit korrekt.

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.
