Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
The aggregated Berlin election trend (as of Sep 17, 2026) shows Die Linke at 20.6% and the CDU at 19.9% — a margin of only 0.7 percentage points. Die Linke has consistently led narrowly since August 2026, benefiting from structural mobilisation advantages in left-leaning districts (Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Prenzlauer Berg). The extremely tight polling margin implies significant residual uncertainty; a CDU late surge or election-day swing is realistic. No Polymarket coverage for this specific outcome.

All available polls for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern place BSW clearly below the five-percent threshold: INSA (Sep 8–15, 2026) at 3%, Pollytix (Sep 8–9) at 5%, with the aggregated election trend at 4.2%. Unlike Berlin, BSW lacks the organisational roots in MV; clearing the threshold would require a massive polling error across all institutes. No Polymarket coverage; calibrated on polling aggregation.

Current polls (INSA/Tagesspiegel, mid-September 2026) show BSW at exactly 5% in Berlin — right at the blocking clause. The Dawum.de aggregate trend shows steady BSW decline since spring 2026, with interim readings at 3–4%. Infratest dimap analysis suggests Berlin voters concentrate protest votes more on Die Linke than on BSW. No direct prediction market anchor. Historically, parties polling exactly at the 5% threshold slightly more often fall short: late deciders tend to consolidate around established parties. Estimated probability: ~55%.

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.
