Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
The weighted polling average from dawum.de (4 surveys, n = 6,627, 10–14 Sep 2026) puts the FDP at 3.0 % – roughly two percentage points below the 5 % threshold. Individual surveys (Tagesspiegel, Berliner Morgenpost, Sep 2026) also show 3 %. No district-seat path or meaningful last-minute surge is visible; the trend has kept the Berlin FDP stably below the barrier since spring 2026.
Data basis for this prediction
- dawum.de/Berlin: FDP 3,0 % (gew. Schnitt, 4 Erhebungen, n = 6.627, 10.–14.09.2026)
- wahl-radar.de/Berlin: FDP-Trend 2,5–3,5 % in letzten drei Erhebungen (Stand 14.09.2026)
- Tagesspiegel Wahlumfrage Berlin September 2026: FDP 3 %
- Berliner Morgenpost Umfrage September 2026: FDP 3 %
Verdict: Hit
Die FDP erhielt bei der Abgeordnetenhauswahl Berlin am 20. September 2026 laut offiziellen Ergebnissen (wahlen-berlin.de, bestätigt durch Wikipedia und politpro.eu) 2,54 % der Zweitstimmen – deutlich unter der 5-%-Hürde. Sie gewann kein Direktmandat und zog mit 0 Sitzen nicht ins Abgeordnetenhaus ein. Die Vorhersage (Scheitern an der Sperrklausel) ist vollständig eingetreten. Der tatsächliche Wert lag sogar noch unter dem prognostizierten Umfragewert von ~3 %. Quellen: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Berlin_state_election, politpro.eu/en/berlin/election/parliament/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.

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.
