Berlin state election (20 September 2026): SPD receives less than 10.0% of the vote

Miss ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 15. September 2026 · Predicted for 20. September 2026 · Based on: Ongoing Event
Probability
57%

Polymarket prices the probability of the Berlin SPD falling below 10% at 57% (as of 15 September 2026, ~$35K in volume). Current polls place the SPD at 10–12%; Forschungsgruppe Wahlen (ZDF, 7–10 September) measured exactly 10%, meaning a slip into single digits on election day is realistic. The SPD is suffering from the federal coalition collapse and the rise of Die Linke as Berlin's new mass party (Polymarket winner-market favourite at 64%). For context: the Berlin SPD received 21.4% in 2021 and 18.4% in 2023 — sub-10% would be a historic collapse. This prediction is deliberately more stringent than the already-open 'SPD under 14%' forecast.

Data basis for this prediction
  • Polymarket Berlin Abgeordnetenhauswahl — SPD vote share < 10 %: 57 % (15. September 2026)
  • Forschungsgruppe Wahlen (ZDF) Berlin, 7.–10. September 2026: SPD 10 %
  • Dawum.de gewichteter Schnitt Berlin, 14. September 2026: SPD 11,6 % (INSA 12 %, Infratest 12 %)
  • Polymarket Berlin Gesamtsiegerin: Die Linke 64 %, CDU 28 %, AfD 8,9 % (15. September 2026)
Verdict: Miss
Die SPD erzielte bei der Abgeordnetenhauswahl Berlin am 20. September 2026 exakt 12,1 % der Zweitstimmen (220.939 Stimmen, 22 Mandate) – damit klar oberhalb der vorhergesagten Schwelle von unter 10,0 %. Obwohl das Ergebnis ein historisches Debakel für die Berliner SPD darstellt (2021: 21,4 %, 2023: 18,4 %), blieb der Einstellige-Bereich verfehlt. Die Partei landete auf Platz 5 hinter Die Linke (25,7 %), CDU (18,8 %), AfD (16,3 %) und Grüne (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.
