Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) polls at 3.6% in Berlin (politpro.eu, early September 2026) – 1.4 points below the 5% threshold. Even accounting for ±2% polling error, entry remains unlikely. None of the existing open Berlin election predictions covers BSW. Confirmed by Landeswahlleiter Berlin or tagesschau.de by September 21, 2026.
Data basis for this prediction
- politpro.eu: Berlin election polls September 2026 – BSW 3,6 %
- Wikipedia: 2026 Berlin state election – polling aggregates

Both current Berlin polls place the FDP far below the 5% threshold: INSA (Sept 2–4, 2026): 3.0%; Infratest dimap (Aug 27–31, 2026): FDP below the statistical detectable threshold. The Berlin FDP has not reached the 5% mark in any poll since spring 2026. Clearing the hurdle would require a simultaneous systematic error of 2+ points from both institutes — historically near-unprecedented. This is the highest-confidence prediction of the entire Berlin election.

Current polls show Liberalerna well below the 4% threshold: Indikator Opinion (fieldwork to September 4, 2026): 2.2%; PolitPro election trend (as of September 9, 2026): 2.7%. Neither institute identifies meaningful upward momentum. The party was part of the Tidö coalition but suffered from its image problems. Even with maximum systematic polling error of +1.5 points, Liberalerna would remain below 4.2%. Failing to enter the Riksdag would cost the governing coalition its parliamentary majority.

Die Linke won 9.9% in MV's 2021 state election. Nationally the party collapsed to ~3.5% in 2025. MV is arguably the party's last eastern stronghold. The open platform prediction puts BSW below 5% in MV, reducing direct competition for left-leaning voters. No MV-specific September 2026 poll retrievable; extrapolation from eastern German trends suggests a borderline 5–7% range. Assessment: ~50/50, slight lean toward clearing the threshold given structural voter anchoring in MV.
