Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
The latest Infratest dimap poll (September 11, 2026) shows Die Linke (lead candidate Elif Eralp) at 23%, ahead of the CDU (Stefan Evers) at 21%, a gap that has been consistent at 2–4 percentage points over the last three weeks. AfD follows at 17%, Greens 16%, SPD 10%. The Linke's lead is within the standard polling margin of error of ±2.5%, making this competitive but leaning in Die Linke's favour. Existing open predictions address percentage thresholds (Linke >18%, CDU >16.5%), not the relative ranking — this prediction is an independent dimension.

In current MV-specific polls (as of September 11, 2026: AfD 38%, SPD 33%, Linke 10%, CDU 7%, Greens 5%), BSW is not listed explicitly in any survey — a strong signal that the party is below the ~3% display threshold. BSW has been holding ~4–5% in federal polls but is structurally weak in MV: no regional organisation, no prominent local candidates, no current seat in Schwerin. MV is not a BSW stronghold. No Polymarket market available.

Centerpartiet (C) is at 9.2% in the Novus poll of September 9–11, 2026, and 9.3% in the Verian poll (August 20–September 2). No poll in the last six has placed C below 8.5%. The party reliably attracts rural and agrarian voters with stable mobilisation patterns. The 8.0% threshold sits 1.2 percentage points below the current polling average, providing a conservative buffer against polling error. A last-minute collapse below 8% would require an unprecedented swing in the final 48 hours.

Current polls (PolitPro / DAWUM, September 11, 2026) show KD at 6.6%. Electoral threshold is 4%; prediction threshold set at 5.0%. KD has only missed the threshold once (2002). Main risk: tactical voting towards Liberalerna (3.5%). No Polymarket market; estimate approximately 74%.
