Predicted for 25. October 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
President Aleksandar Vučić called snap parliamentary elections in Serbia for October 25, 2026. The SNS has held government continuously since 2012 and most recently received 46.1% of the vote in December 2023. The 2025/26 student movement has mobilized the opposition and is expected to push the SNS vote share to ~35–42%, but no unified opposition bloc has emerged. No direct Polymarket market available; Metaculus assigns 59–87% to the structurally dominant incumbent bloc in US elections, serving as a general incumbency reference. The SNS winning the most seats is the base case; whether with an outright majority or needing coalition partners remains uncertain.

Verdict: Miss
Die SNS verlor die Wahl klar: Die oppositionelle Studentenliste gewann mit ~53 % der Stimmen und ca. 141 Sitzen die absolute Mehrheit; die SNS-geführte Liste kam auf 38,8 % und ca. 103 Sitze. Vučić räumte noch am Wahlabend die Niederlage ein – das erste Mal seit 12 Jahren verliert die SNS die Mehrheit im Parlament. Hauptursache war die historisch hohe Wahlbeteiligung (~69 %, höchste seit 1992), mobilisiert durch die seit 2025 andauernde Studentenbewegung nach dem Einsturz des Bahnhofsdachs in Novi Sad. Die Vorhersage unterschätzte die Einheitlichkeit und Schlagkraft der Studentenbewegung als Oppositionsblock.

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.
