Predicted for 13. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
Latest polling: Demoskop August 24, 2026 → 6.8%; PolitPro Election Trend August 28, 2026 → 7.3%. The 6.5% threshold sits clearly below the polling average (~7.1%). Risk factors: Scandinavian left-wing parties tend to experience a slight pre-election squeeze toward Social Democrats (S, 30.7%) — however, this effect is historically rarely larger than 0.5–1.0 percentage points. PolitPro projects V at 27 seats (out of 349), implying >7.0%. No direct Polymarket market on V; Metaculus and PolitPro imply the 4% threshold will be surpassed by a wide margin.

Verdict: Hit
Vänsterpartiet erzielte laut Valmyndighetens preliminärem Ergebnis (veröffentlicht 17. September 2026) 8,3 % der abgegebenen Stimmen (526.521 Stimmen) und gewann 30 Riksdag-Sitze. Damit übertraf die Partei die Schwelle von 6,5 % deutlich – sogar den prognostizierten Polling-Mittelwert von ~7,1 %. Der befürchtete 'Squeeze'-Effekt zugunsten der Sozialdemokraten trat nicht ein; V legte im Vergleich zur Wahl 2022 (6,8 %) zu. Quellen: Valmyndigheten (val.se), SVT Valresultat 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.
