Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
The most recent Insa poll for Nordkurier (fieldwork 13 Aug 2026) puts AfD with lead candidate Leif-Erik Holm at 36%, SPD (Minister-President Manuela Schwesig) at 29% — a 7-point gap. dawum.de and t-online.de show consistent polling. A 7-point SPD catchup by 20 September would be a historically extraordinary trend break. No explicit prediction market found. The existing open Cassandra predictions (FDP, Greens, BSW failing threshold, SPD >24%) are consistent with AfD as the strongest party.
Data basis for this prediction
- Insa/Nordkurier-Umfrage MV 13.8.2026: AfD 36%, SPD 29% (nordkurier.de)
- t-online.de MV-Wahl 2026: AfD vor SPD, Prognosetrend (August 2026)
- dawum.de Sonntagsfrage MV 2026: AfD konstant führend (Stand August 2026)
Verdict: Hit
Die AfD wurde mit 38,2 % tatsächlich stärkste Partei bei der Landtagswahl Mecklenburg-Vorpommern am 20. September 2026, vor der SPD mit 35,5 %. Das vorläufige amtliche Endergebnis wurde vom Landeswahlleiter MV bestätigt (laiv-mv.de, landtag-mv.de). Der tatsächliche Vorsprung fiel mit 2,7 Prozentpunkten jedoch deutlich knapper aus als die Umfragen vermuten ließen (36 % AfD vs. 29 % SPD, also 7 Punkte Abstand kurz vor der Wahl) — die SPD legte stärker zu als erwartet und holte fast auf. Die Vorhersage trat dennoch klar ein.

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.

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.

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.
