BSW (Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht) fails to clear the 5% threshold at the Saxony-Anhalt state election (September 6, 2026) and does not enter the Landtag

Miss ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 23. August 2026 · Predicted for 6. September 2026 · Based on: Statistical Pattern

Probability

63%

Current Saxony-Anhalt polls place BSW at the threshold boundary: pollytix (August 3–8, 2026) shows BSW at 4%; INSA (July 31–August 6, 2026) shows 5%. The average is ~4.5% — below the 5% threshold. No Polymarket market specifically for BSW Saxony-Anhalt found. Structural reasons for failure: BSW as a 2024 founding lacks an established organisational network in Saxony-Anhalt, faces internal leadership tensions, and is losing voters to the AfD. Analogous prediction for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (BSW also at 4% in polls) is an open Cassandra platform prediction. Risk: Sahra Wagenknecht's personal recognition and eastern-German appeal could mobilize late voters above threshold; the 0.5pp gap to the INSA reading is narrow.

Data basis for this prediction

pollytix-Umfrage Sachsen-Anhalt, 03.–08.08.2026: AfD 43 %, CDU 23 %, Linke 13 %, SPD 7 %, Grüne 5 %, BSW 4 %, FDP 2 % (wahlrecht.de/dawum.de)
INSA-Umfrage Sachsen-Anhalt, 31.07.–06.08.2026: AfD 42 %, CDU 22 %, Linke 13 %, SPD 6 %, Grüne 4 %, BSW 5 %, FDP 4 % (wahlrecht.de/dawum.de)

Analogie: INSA-Umfrage MV 13.08.2026 — BSW ebenfalls bei 4 % (offene Cassandra-Prognose: BSW MV scheitert)

Verdict: Miss

Das BSW erzielte bei der Sachsen-Anhalt Landtagswahl am 6. September 2026 rund 5,1–5,3 % der Stimmen und übersprang damit knapp die 5 %-Sperrklausel. Die Partei zog in den Magdeburger Landtag ein. Die Vorhersage trat damit nicht ein. Als Grund für das Scheitern der Vorhersage nennen die Quellen genau das im Prognose-Risiko erwähnte Szenario: Sahra Wagenknechts persönliche Mobilisierungskraft und die Ost-Affinität der Partei reichten aus, um Wähler knapp über die Hürde zu ziehen. Die Umfragen (pollytix 4 %, INSA 5 %) unterschätzten die tatsächliche Wahltagsmobilisierung.

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.
