Predicted for 3. November 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
In US midterm elections, the incumbent president's party historically loses seats in the House in ~95% of cases (avg. –28 seats since 1946). Trump's approval ratings recently stood below 45%, historically correlating with above-average losses. Democrats need a net gain of approximately 7–8 seats against the current Republican majority. Polymarket assigns 65% to a Democratic Senate majority (as of Sept 22, 2026, Vol. USD 2.96M) — no direct House quote was available. Structural factors are comparably strong; own calibration: 54%. This prediction is independent of the open Senate prediction.
Data basis for this prediction
- Polymarket: Demokraten gewinnen US-Senat 2026 bei 65 % (Stand 22.09.2026, Vol. 2,96 Mio. USD)
- ActionNetwork / Bloomberg: Kalshi & Polymarket 2026-Midterm-Aktivität, September 2026
- Congressional Research Service: Präsidentenpartei verliert Repräsentantenhaussitze in ~95 % aller Midterm-Wahlen seit 1946
Verdict: Hit
Die Vorhersage ist eingetreten. Die Demokraten gewannen bei den US-Midterms am 3. November 2026 klar die Mehrheit im Repräsentantenhaus. NBC News projizierte 258–259 Sitze für die Demokraten gegenüber 176 für die Republikaner – ein Nettogewinn von über 40 Sitzen. CNN meldete über 250 demokratische Sitze. Damit wurde die Prognose weit übertroffen (benötigt waren nur ~7–8 Sitze). NBC News bestätigte die demokratische Mehrheit im Rahmen seiner Wahlnacht-Berichterstattung, also vor dem Stichtag 7. November 2026. Quellen: NBC News (nbcnews.com/politics/2026-elections/house-results), CBS News (cbsnews.com/live-updates/house-election-results-2026/), CNN (cnn.com, 05.11.2026).

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).

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.
