Predicted for 13. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
Current polls place the Sweden Democrats well above the threshold: Demoskop (fieldwork August 24, 2026) shows SD at 18.3%, the PolitPro trend model projects 19.2%. SD would thus be the second-largest party with 67–70 Riksdag seats. No prediction market trades this threshold directly; polling averages imply approximately 82% probability. Residual risks (weak mobilization, tactical voting toward Moderaterna) are limited.

Verdict: Miss
Sverigedemokraterna erhielten laut offiziellen Ergebnissen der Valmyndigheten (alle 6.626 Wahlbezirke ausgezählt) exakt 17,5 % der Stimmen – und damit nicht *mehr* als 17,5 %, wie die Vorhersage verlangte. SD gewann zudem nur 62 Riksdag-Sitze (statt der prognostizierten 67–70) und fiel sogar auf Platz 3 zurück (statt als zweitstärkste Partei abzuschließen). Die zugrunde gelegten Umfragen (Demoskop 18,3 %, PolitPro 19,2 %) überschätzten das SD-Ergebnis deutlich – Mobilisierungsschwäche und taktisches Wählen zugunsten der Moderaterna (die zweitstärkste Partei blieben) dürften die Lücke erklären. Es war zugleich der erste Rückgang bei einer Riksdag-Wahl in der Geschichte der Partei.

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.
