AfD wins more than 40.0% of votes cast in the Saxony-Anhalt state election (6 September 2026), confirmed by the state returning officer (Landeswahlleiter)

Hit ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 22. August 2026 · Predicted for 6. September 2026 · Based on: Historical Cycle
Probability
72%

The latest available poll (Pollytix/Campact, 12 August 2026) shows AfD in Saxony-Anhalt at 43%; Infratest dimap (30 July 2026) confirms similar figures. The 40% threshold is 3 percentage points below current polling — an error of this magnitude favoring other parties would be historically unprecedented in Saxony-Anhalt. Eastern German polls tend to underestimate the AfD (reverse Bradley effect). CDU sits at 22%, Die Linke at 13%, SPD at 7% — no rival party approaches 40%. No prediction market explicitly prices this threshold; estimated probability: 72%.

Data basis for this prediction
  • Pollytix/Campact (12. Aug 2026): AfD 43 %, CDU 22 %, Die Linke 13 %, SPD 7 %, Grüne 5 %, BSW 4 %, FDP 2 %
  • Infratest dimap (30. Juli 2026): Bestätigt AfD-Dominanz in Sachsen-Anhalt (t-online.de)

September 2026 laut übereinstimmenden Berichten (ARD-Projektionen, ZDF, Al Jazeera, Euronews, NPR) ca. 43,8–44,5 % der Stimmen – deutlich über der Schwelle von 40,0 %.

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.
