Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
BSW polls at 3.5-4.0% in all current Berlin surveys: PolitPro tracker (Sept 4, 2026) shows 3.8%, Infratest dimap likewise below 5%. Urban western-German Berlin lacks the structural base for a BSW late surge. No Polymarket market available; given the 1.2-1.5pp gap below the threshold, probability of failing the hurdle is estimated at ~79%.
Data basis for this prediction
- PolitPro.eu Berlin Wahltrend 4.9.2026: BSW 3,8 %
- dawum.de Berlin Sonntagsfrage: BSW unter 5 % (Stand 5.9.2026)
- ipsos.com/de-de: Umfrage Wahl Berlin 2026 — kein klarer Favorit, BSW marginal (September 2026)
- t-online.de: Wahlumfrage Berlin 2026 — BSW deutlich unter 5 %-Schwelle (5.9.2026)
Verdict: Hit
BSW erzielte bei der Abgeordnetenhauswahl Berlin am 20. September 2026 laut übereinstimmenden Quellen (Wikipedia 'Wahl zum Abgeordnetenhaus von Berlin 2026', PolitPro, wahlen-berlin.de) 4,7 % der Zweitstimmen und verfehlte damit die 5-%-Sperrklausel um 0,3 Prozentpunkte. BSW zog nicht in das Berliner Abgeordnetenhaus ein. Die Vorhersage trat exakt ein: Die Umfragewerte von 3,8–4,0 % unterschätzten das Endergebnis leicht, dennoch reichte es nicht zur Überwindung der Hürde.

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.
