BSW (Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance) fails to clear the 5% threshold at the Saxony-Anhalt state election (September 6, 2026)

Miss ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 3. September 2026 · Predicted for 6. September 2026 · Based on: Historical Cycle

Probability

83%

BSW polls at 3.9% in the aggregated PolitPro election trend for Saxony-Anhalt (end of August 2026) — well below the 5% threshold. The party has struggled with declining national polls and structural build-up deficits in eastern Germany since its founding in 2024. A mid-August individual poll briefly showed 5%, but the aggregate trend is clearly below. Historically, election outcomes in German federal states rarely deviate more than ±1.5 points from the polling trend; for BSW, entering parliament would require +1.1 points above the trend. No Polymarket market for BSW Saxony-Anhalt. The open Cassandra forecast for BSW in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is a separate election and is not affected.

Data basis for this prediction

PolitPro Election Trend Sachsen-Anhalt: BSW 3,9 % (Aggregat Ende August 2026)
PolitPro Einzelumfrage Sachsen-Anhalt Mid-August 2026: BSW 5 % (Infratest dimap)
Sachsen-Anhalt Landtagswahl: 6. September 2026, Landeswahlleiter Sachsen-Anhalt

Verdict: Miss

BSW erzielte laut Hochrechnungen/vorläufigem Ergebnis ca. 5,3 % und übersprang damit die 5-%-Sperrklausel knapp – entgegen der Vorhersage. Der aggregierte Umfragetrend lag bei 3,9 %, das tatsächliche Ergebnis lag damit rund +1,4 Punkte darüber, was zwar innerhalb des historischen Schwankungsbereichs von ±1,5 Punkten liegt, aber eben ausreichte, um den Einzug zu schaffen. Frühe ZDF-Prognosen zeigten noch 4,8 %, das Endergebnis verbesserte sich jedoch auf ~5,3 %.

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.
