Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
PolitPro's September 13 trend shows Berlin SPD at 12.1% — a historic low. Even accounting for ±3pp polling error, exceeding 14% would require a substantial over-performance. National drag from the 2025 coalition collapse, CDU chancellorship, and Die Linke's strength in Berlin's urban left flank explain the decline. No direct prediction market; calibrated via polls only.

Kalshi prices the probability of the Republican candidate winning Iowa's 2026 Senate race at approximately 61%; Polymarket confirms a similar assessment. Incumbent Joni Ernst (Republican, senator since 2015) is running for her third term in Iowa. Iowa ranks among the most structurally Republican-leaning swing states of recent election cycles: Donald Trump carried Iowa by ~13 points in 2024. Even in a national Democratic Midterm wave scenario (Polymarket: 'Democratic Sweep' = 53%), Iowa remains extremely costly and logistically challenging terrain for Democrats. Crucially, Democrats can win the Senate majority without Iowa — by flipping Ohio (52% Democratic, Kalshi) and Texas (51% Democratic, Kalshi) — drawing resources away from Iowa. Ernst's moderate profile on farm subsidies and veterans' issues shields her from significant intra-state backlash.

Current polls show the FDP in MV well below the 5% threshold: Dawum aggregate (5 surveys, as of September 11, 2026): 1.6%; INSA (September 8, 2026): 3%; Infratest dimap (fieldwork August 26–31, 2026): below 3%. No prediction market covers this outcome. For context: the FDP entered the Landtag at 5.8% in 2021 but failed with 3.0% in 2016. Nationally, the FDP has suffered persistently low approval since the 2024 coalition collapse — chronically below 5% in eastern German states. The MV 2026 electoral landscape is dominated by AfD (~36%), SPD (~32%), and Die Linke (~11%), leaving the FDP with negligible voter potential.

The 2026 State Duma election (three-day polling September 18–20, 450 seats, 9th convocation) is Russia's first nationwide parliamentary vote since the full-scale Ukraine invasion. United Russia currently holds ~314 seats (70%) and won 49.82% in 2021 and ~54.20% in 2016. No prediction markets cover this outcome. Own calibration: under full media and administrative control, crossing the 50% threshold is structurally more likely than not — especially given wartime approval rhetoric and the documented use of administrative resources in Russian elections.
