Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Ongoing Event
At the February 2023 Berlin repeat election, AfD received just 9.1%. Since then it has surged nationally (Thuringia Sept. 2024: 32.8%; Brandenburg Sept. 2024: 29.2%; federal election 2025: ~22%). Current Berlin poll aggregate (INSA/Forsa/Civey, early September 2026) shows AfD at ~17–18%; PolitPro aggregator shows 17.8%. In city-states AfD results are structurally below the national average, but upward momentum is pronounced. A result above 16.0% is the most likely scenario. No direct Polymarket market for Berlin available; calibrated via structural analogies and poll aggregate.

Polymarket gives Eisenkot 54.5% probability of becoming next Israeli PM (September 13, 2026; $37.2M trading volume). Five-poll average (Sep 8-10): Yashar 23.6 seats, Likud 21.8 seats. Netanyahu's right-wing bloc reaches ~53-54 seats — far from the required 61. Only one of five current surveys (i24NEWS) shows Netanyahu near a majority. Eisenkot's bloc can reach up to 61 seats with Arab-democratic lists. Netanyahu has only 29% probability on Polymarket.

Die Grünen are structurally weak in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern: in 2021 they received 4.6%, in 2016 4.8% — both just below the 5% threshold. Current MV polls show Grünen again below 5%. The rural state offers no urban strongholds. Die Linke (>8% forecast) and the AfD-dominated far-right bloc (>34%) absorb non-establishment voter potential. Two prior attempts, two failures — statistically everything argues against entry.

Polymarket prices Democratic Senate control at 54% (as of 13 September 2026). The House of Representatives is a separate, often contrarian market. Historical average since 1946: the president's party loses a net ~24 House seats at midterms — a strong structural signal favouring Democrats (against a Trump Republican majority). Cook Political Report flags ~35–40 toss-up districts. A Democratic House majority is a plausible but not base-case scenario; implied market probability derived from Senate data and historical patterns: approx. 42%.
