Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Ongoing Event
Berlin polls (DAWUM.de, early September 2026) show BSW at only 3.4–3.6%, well below the 5% threshold. Reaching 5% by election day would require an exceptional late surge with no polling evidence. Analogous to the FDP, which is also below 5% and predicted to fail the threshold in a separate open prediction.
Data basis for this prediction
- BSW Berlin Umfragen 3,4–3,6 % (DAWUM.de, Stand Anfang Sep. 2026)
- Wikipedia: 2026 Berlin state election — Umfragentabelle (Sep. 2026)
- Vergleich FDP Berlin ~3,4 % (DAWUM.de, Sep. 2026)
Verdict: Hit
BSW erzielte bei der Berliner Abgeordnetenhauswahl am 20. September 2026 exakt 4,7 % der Zweitstimmen (86.041 Stimmen) und verfehlte damit die 5-%-Sperrklausel knapp. Die Partei zog nicht ins Abgeordnetenhaus ein. Die Vorhersage trat damit ein. Bemerkenswert: BSW schnitt deutlich besser ab als die Umfragen (3,4–3,6 %) erwarten ließen – der tatsächliche Endspurt war also real, reichte aber dennoch nicht über die Hürde.

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.

With 97% of votes counted, Republican incumbent Roger Wicker leads by just 28 votes per NBC News live results (04.11.2026) — one of the closest Senate races in history. Mississippi election law requires an automatic recount when the margin falls below 0.5% of total votes, expected to conclude by 15–20 November. The remaining 3% of ballots originate primarily from rural precincts with historically higher Republican turnout, giving Wicker a slight statistical edge. No specific Polymarket market for Mississippi was identified.

Polymarket gives Peltola a 72% win probability (as of November 3, 2026). The Democrat benefits from Alaska's Ranked Choice Voting system, which structurally favors cross-partisan candidates, as well as strong support from the Indigenous population and Alaska Native organizations. The national environment weighs on Sullivan: Polymarket gives Democrats a 72–77% probability of winning the Senate majority and 95% in the House. Early mail-ballot returns show a slight pro-Democratic lean in Alaska. Because Alaska uses ranked choice, a final count is not expected until November 5.
