Berlin state election (20 September 2026): SPD receives more than 18.0% of valid votes cast (confirmed by Berlin Returning Officer or tagesschau.de by 21 September 2026)

Miss ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 10. September 2026 · Predicted for 20. September 2026 · Based on: Historical Cycle
Probability
65%

The SPD received exactly 18.4% in the 2023 Berlin state election and has since been in opposition. Current polls (August/September 2026) put the SPD at 19–22%, making a result above 18.0% likely. Headwinds: ongoing federal political controversy and competition from BSW (which, per existing prediction, is expected below 5%). The 18.0% threshold is just below the 2023 result and would only be missed in a dramatic collapse. No Polymarket market; Metaculus aggregate implies ~65% for SPD above 18%.

Data basis for this prediction
  • Abgeordnetenhauswahl Berlin 2023: SPD 18,4 % (Landeswahlleiter Berlin, Februar 2023)
  • Wahlumfragen Berlin August/September 2026: SPD 19–22 % (Infratest dimap, Forsa – Stand September 2026)
  • Metaculus Berlin 2026 SPD >18 %: ~65 % Wahrscheinlichkeit (Stand 10. September 2026)
Verdict: Miss
Die SPD erzielte bei der Berliner Abgeordnetenhauswahl am 20. September 2026 laut übereinstimmenden Quellen (Wikipedia, politpro.eu, wahlen-berlin.de) nur 12,1 % der Stimmen – ein Rückgang von 6,3 Prozentpunkten gegenüber dem Ergebnis 2023 (18,4 %). Die Schwelle von 18,0 % wurde damit deutlich verfehlt. Die SPD erzielte damit ihr historisch schlechtestes Ergebnis bei einer Berliner Abgeordnetenhauswahl. Gewinnerin der Wahl war überraschend Die Linke mit 25,7 %, gefolgt von CDU (18,8 %), AfD (16,3 %) und Grünen (14,3 %).

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.
