Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
BSW (Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht) polls at only 4% (INSA/Nordkurier, Aug 4-11, 2026) or 4% (Infratest dimap, July 6, 2026); PolitPro trend (September 1, 2026): 4.1%. This places BSW clearly below the 5% threshold. By comparison, the identical situation is documented in Saxony-Anhalt (simultaneous election on September 6). Main risk (−30%): Sahra Wagenknecht personal campaign appearances in the final sprint can mobilize +1-2 percentage points (established from Thuringia/Saxony 2024 elections). A BSW result of 5.0-6.0% is possible if the party mobilizes late. Forecast is compatible with existing MV predictions (FDP fails, Greens fail) — no substantive duplicate.
Data basis for this prediction
- INSA/Nordkurier MV-Umfrage (4.–11. August 2026): BSW 4 %
- Infratest dimap MV (6. Juli 2026): BSW 4 %
- PolitPro Trend MV (1. September 2026): BSW 4,1 %, projizierter Einzug: nein
- Polymarket: AfD gewinnt MV-Wahl 89 % (1. September 2026, $617K Volumen)
Verdict: Hit
BSW erhielt bei der Mecklenburg-Vorpommern-Landtagswahl am 20. September 2026 laut Wikipedia (Landtagswahl in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern 2026) und ZDF/wahl-monitor.de 4,8 % der Zweitstimmen und scheiterte damit knapp an der 5-%-Sperrklausel – die Partei zog nicht in den Landtag ein. Die Vorhersage (BSW scheitert an der Sperrklausel) ist somit eingetreten. Das tatsächliche Ergebnis (4,8 %) lag etwas höher als die Umfragewerte (4,0–4,1 %), was den im Risikofaktor genannten Mobilisierungseffekt durch Wahlkampfauftritte bestätigt; dieser war aber nicht stark genug, um die 5-%-Hürde zu überqueren.

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.
