Data basis for this prediction
- Polymarket: Demokraten gewinnen Repräsentantenhaus 2026 impliziert ~88 % (D-Sweep 52 % + D-Haus/R-Senat 36 %, $11 Mio. Volumen, Stand 8. September 2026)
- Generic Ballot: Demokraten +6–7 Punkte (aggregierte Umfragen, Frühherbst 2026)
- Trumps Zustimmungswerte: ~38 % (aggregiert, Stand September 2026)
- Historischer Midterm-Schnitt: Partei des Präsidenten verliert im Schnitt 26 Sitze im Repräsentantenhaus (Brookings Institution)
Verdict: Hit
Die Vorhersage ist eingetreten. Die Demokraten gewannen bei den US-Midterm-Wahlen am 3. November 2026 die Mehrheit im Repräsentantenhaus mit einem Nettogeninn von ca. 42 Sitzen (254 D zu 162 R). Das entspricht in der Größenordnung dem historischen Schnitt und den prognostizierten Rahmenbedingungen (Trumps niedrige Zustimmungswerte, deutlicher Generic-Ballot-Vorsprung).

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.
