Berlin state election (September 20, 2026): CDU becomes the largest party in the Berlin House of Representatives

Miss ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 3. September 2026 · Predicted for 20. September 2026 · Based on: Historical Cycle
Probability
40%

CDU under lead candidate Stefan Evers polls at 19–20% (INSA: 20%, Civey: 19%), narrowly ahead of Die Linke (19–21%) and AfD (17–18%). The race is extremely tight—all three parties within 3 percentage points. CDU benefits from strong turnout mobilization and Evers' visibility as former parliamentary leader. In a three-way horse race, CDU becoming largest party represents a ~40–45% scenario. Coalition formation (CDU+Greens+SPD or Linke+Greens+SPD) depends more on the bloc balance than CDU margin. No Polymarket market available.

Data basis for this prediction
  • INSA Berlin Umfrage: CDU 20 %, Linke 19 %, AfD 17 % (T-Online, 13. August 2026)
  • Civey Berlin Umfrage: Linke 21 %, CDU 19 %, AfD 18 % (T-Online, 5. August 2026)
  • Koalitionsrechner Berlin 2026: realistische Optionen CDU/Grüne/SPD oder Linke/Grüne/SPD (koalitions-rechner.de)
  • dawum.de Berlin-Wahltrend (Stand 3. September 2026)
Verdict: Miss
Die CDU wurde NICHT stärkste Partei. Die Linke gewann die Wahl zum Abgeordnetenhaus am 20. September 2026 mit 25,7 % der Zweitstimmen (mehr als verdoppelt gegenüber 12,2 % in 2023) und wurde erstmals stärkste Kraft in Berlin. Die CDU kollabierte auf 18,8 % (Platz 2), die AfD kam auf 16,3 %, die Grünen auf 14,3 %, die SPD auf 12,1 %. Der CDU-Einbruch wurde als 'Desaster' von Kanzler Merz bewertet.

Alberto Núñez Feijóo (PP) secures parliamentary majority with Vox coalition and becomes Spanish Prime Minister — General Election 29 November 2026 (confirmed by Junta Electoral Central or AP by 1 December 2026)

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.

Roger Wicker (Republican) retains the US Senate seat in Mississippi after recount — confirmed by AP or NBC News by 20 November 2026

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.

Mary Peltola (Democrat) wins the US Senate seat in Alaska against Dan Sullivan (Republican) — US Midterm Elections November 3, 2026 (confirmed by AP or NBC News by November 5, 2026)

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.
