Predicted for 6. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
Three current polls show AfD in Saxony-Anhalt clearly above the 38% mark: Infratest dimap/ARD (Aug 24-25) 42%, Forschungsgruppe Wahlen/ZDF (Aug 25-27) 40%, pollytix (Aug 3-8) 43%. PolitPro trend (September 1, 2026): 41.7%. Polymarket prices AfD winning as strongest party at 99%. The 38.0% threshold is approximately 2-4 percentage points below all current poll values. Main risk: Structural AfD polling overhang at state elections (difference actual result vs. poll) has historically been 2-4 percentage points downward; even with full correction AfD would still clearly exceed 38%. Prediction is compatible with the open forecast 'AfD is strongest party in SA' and not redundant.
Data basis for this prediction
- Infratest dimap (ARD): AfD 42 % in Sachsen-Anhalt (24.–25. August 2026)
- Forschungsgruppe Wahlen (ZDF): AfD 40 % in Sachsen-Anhalt (25.–27. August 2026)
- PolitPro Trendwert SA (1. September 2026): AfD 41,7 %
- Polymarket: AfD gewinnt SA (stärkste Partei) 99 % (1. September 2026, Stand $467K Volumen)
Verdict: Hit
[Vorzeitig entschieden] AfD erzielte 44–48 %, deutlich mehr als 38,0 %. Quelle: ZDF-Hochrechnung, wahlrecht.de

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%.

Both current Berlin polls place the FDP far below the 5% threshold: INSA (Sept 2–4, 2026): 3.0%; Infratest dimap (Aug 27–31, 2026): FDP below the statistical detectable threshold. The Berlin FDP has not reached the 5% mark in any poll since spring 2026. Clearing the hurdle would require a simultaneous systematic error of 2+ points from both institutes — historically near-unprecedented. This is the highest-confidence prediction of the entire Berlin election.

Current polls show Liberalerna well below the 4% threshold: Indikator Opinion (fieldwork to September 4, 2026): 2.2%; PolitPro election trend (as of September 9, 2026): 2.7%. Neither institute identifies meaningful upward momentum. The party was part of the Tidö coalition but suffered from its image problems. Even with maximum systematic polling error of +1.5 points, Liberalerna would remain below 4.2%. Failing to enter the Riksdag would cost the governing coalition its parliamentary majority.
