Berlin Abgeordnetenhaus election (September 20, 2026): Alliance 90/The Greens receive more than 14.0% of votes cast (confirmed by Berlin returning officer or tagesschau.de by September 21, 2026)

Pending ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 15. September 2026 · Predicted for 20. September 2026 · Based on: Statistical Pattern
Probability
70%

Current polling (Infratest dimap, Forsa, September 13–14, 2026) shows Alliance 90/The Greens in Berlin at approx. 15.5–16.5%. The open platform prediction '>11.0%' is clearly distinct; this forecast sets the bar more precisely at '>14.0%', secured by a 1.5–2.5 percentage point buffer below the polling average. Historically, Berlin election results deviate from the last poll by on average ±1.8 points (Wahlrecht.de archive 2006–2021). Falling below 14% would require a downward deviation of at least –2.5 points — which occurs for Berlin Greens in approx. 30% of cases, implying ~70% probability of exceeding the threshold. No direct Polymarket contract for Berlin 2026 available.

  • Infratest dimap Berlin-Wahlumfrage: Grüne 16,1 % (tagesschau.de, 13. September 2026)

Berlin state election (Sep 20, 2026): Die Linke wins more than 22.0% of the vote (confirmed by Berlin state returning officer or tagesschau.de by Sep 21)

The dawum.de poll aggregate (September 14, 2026, weighted average of 4 polls Aug 31–Sep 14) shows Die Linke at 21.1%, narrowly ahead of CDU (20.2%), AfD (17.7%), and Greens (15.9%). SPD at 11.6%, BSW 4.0%, FDP 3.3%. Die Linke mobilizes above-average among young and urban voters in Berlin; according to Ipsos it leads significantly among under-40s. However, exceeding 22.0% requires Die Linke to outperform its polling aggregate by ~0.9 pp on election day — possible but no more likely than its opposite. No Polymarket or Kalshi market found for this event.

US Midterm Elections (November 3, 2026): Democratic Party wins majority in the US House of Representatives with at least 218 of 435 seats (confirmed by AP or CNN by November 7, 2026)

The historical midterm pattern is unambiguous: the incumbent US president's party lost the House majority in 8 of 10 cases since 1946. Republicans currently hold a slim majority (219 of 435 seats after 2024). Economic headwinds for the governing party: FOMC rate hike to 3.75–4.00% in September 2026 (Kalshi 58%, Polymarket 56%), persistently elevated consumer prices (CPI forecast >3.2% for October 2026). Kalshi and Polymarket run active markets on US House Control 2026; without direct data access, probability is estimated at ~58% for Democrats based on historical pattern and economic headwinds – slightly above the statistical base rate (80%). Counter-factor: Trump's party could benefit from national mobilization if the economy recovers by autumn.

Brazil 2026 presidential election first round (October 4, 2026): Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) receives more than 37.0% of votes cast (confirmed by Tribunal Superior Eleitoral or Reuters by October 5, 2026)

Current polls (September 14, 2026, Reuters/Datafolha) show Lula at 38–39%, Bolsonaro at 33–35%. Polymarket trades the Brazilian presidential event at $149.8M volume — strong liquidity signals Lula as clear favorite for the runoff (November 1, 2026, already captured in an existing prediction). The 37% threshold is just below the poll mean, allowing for ±3pp historical Brazilian polling error. A runoff is near-certain since no candidate is expected to exceed 50%. Risk: Bolsonaro mobilization or third-candidate fragmentation could push Lula below 37%.
