Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
Current polls (wahlrecht.de, dawum.de, Ipsos) show the FDP in Berlin at 4% – just below the 5% threshold. t-online.de explicitly reports: 'BSW and FDP worry about entering parliament.' After the 'Ampel' collapse, the FDP's brand image is particularly damaged in Berlin; voters are migrating to the CDU (19%) and Greens (15%). Historically, parties at 4% in the final poll aggregate clear the 5% hurdle in German state elections in fewer than 30% of cases. The BSW (also at 4%) is already predicted on the platform as failing – the FDP faces the identical situation.
Data basis for this prediction
- dawum.de: Wahlumfragen Berlin – FDP bei 4 % (09.09.2026)
- wahlrecht.de: Berliner Abgeordnetenhaus Sonntagsfrage – FDP 4 % (09.09.2026)
- t-online.de: 'Umfrage zur Berlin-Wahl 2026 – BSW und FDP bangen um Einzug' (08.09.2026)
- Ipsos: Umfrage Berlin-Wahl 2026 – FDP unter 5 % (September 2026)
Verdict: Hit
Die FDP erzielte bei der Abgeordnetenhauswahl Berlin am 20. September 2026 lediglich ca. 2,5 % der Zweitstimmen (laut Landeswahlleiter Berlin / wahlen-berlin.de) – deutlich unter der 5-%-Sperrklausel. Die Partei zog damit nicht in das Abgeordnetenhaus ein. Die Vorhersage trat klar ein; die FDP verfehlte die Hürde sogar erheblich stärker als in den Umfragen (4 %) erwartet.

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.
