Berlin state election (Sept 20, 2026): CDU wins more than 19.0% of valid votes

Miss ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 16. September 2026 · Predicted for 20. September 2026 · Based on: Statistical Pattern
Probability
61%

The PolitPro aggregate for Berlin shows CDU at 19.6% on September 16, 2026; INSA (September 7–14) gives 20%. Polymarket gives CDU a 27% chance of winning the most seats. The 19.0% threshold sits ~0.6 pp below the polling mean of ~19.8%; with typical Berlin polling errors of ±2–3 pp, the probability is approximately 61%. CDU and Die Linke are neck-and-neck in polls (~19.8% each), making the race tight, but CDU falling below 19% would require a meaningful negative polling miss.

Data basis for this prediction
  • PolitPro Aggregat Berlin, Stand 16.09.2026: CDU 19,6 %, Die Linke 19,8 %, AfD 17,9 %, Grüne 16,1 %, SPD 12,9 %
  • INSA Berlin-Umfrage 07.–14.09.2026: CDU 20 %
  • Polymarket 'Berlin State Election Winner', Stand 16.09.2026: CDU 27 ¢, Die Linke 66 ¢ (Volumen: 3,85 Mio. USD)
  • Historischer Polling-Fehler Berlin-Wahlen: Median ±2,5 Pp (Infratest dimap Wahlnachberichte 2021–2023)
Verdict: Miss
Die CDU erzielte bei der Abgeordnetenhauswahl Berlin am 20.09.2026 laut mehreren übereinstimmenden Quellen (Wikipedia, PolitPro, Al Jazeera, ZDF) exakt 18,8 % der Stimmen – und verfehlte damit die Schwelle von 19,0 % um 0,2 Prozentpunkte. Die Partei verlor zudem massiv gegenüber 2023 (−9,5 Pp), während Die Linke mit 25,7 % klar stärkste Kraft wurde. Die Umfragen überschätzten die CDU systematisch (Polling-Mittelwert ~19,8 %, tatsächlich 18,8 %).

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.
