Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
Current INSA polls (Aug 4–11, 2026, N=1,000) place the Greens in MV exactly at 5% — right on the threshold. Eastern German elections historically show pronounced tactical voting shifts: in Saxony and Thuringia 2024, the Greens failed despite national polling at 7–9%. In MV, the Greens have traditionally been weak (2021: 6.3%, barely made it in). The high AfD share (36%) and SPD dominance (29%) make tactical Green-friendly vote splitting less likely. No specific Polymarket market found; a genuine coin-flip.
Data basis for this prediction
- INSA-Umfrage MV 4.–11. August 2026: Grünen 5,0 % (t-online.de, infratest-dimap; N=1.000)
- MV Landtagswahl 2021: Grünen 6,3 % (knapper Einzug) – historische Referenz (wahlrecht.de)
- Grünen Sachsen/Thüringen 2024: scheiterten an 5%-Sperrklausel trotz höherer Bundesumfragen (tagesschau.de)
- MV Wahlrecht: 5%-Sperrklausel ohne Direktmandat-Überhangregelung für Kleine (wahlrecht.de)
Verdict: Miss
Die Grünen erhielten laut vorläufigem amtlichem Endergebnis des Landeswahlleiters MV 5,7 % der Stimmen und zogen mit 5 Sitzen in den Landtag ein. Die Vorhersage, sie würden an der 5%-Hürde scheitern, trat nicht ein. Anders als in Sachsen und Thüringen 2024 gelang den Grünen in MV der knappe Einzug. CDU (4,9 %) und FDP (1,0 %) scheiterten hingegen an der Sperrklausel. Quellen: laiv-mv.de (Landeswahlleiter MV), landtag-mv.de (vorläufiges amtliches Endergebnis), wahlrecht.de

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.
