Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
The CDU polls at a stable 9–10% for the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state election (infratest dimap, INSA, August 2026). The 8.5% threshold is roughly 0.5–1.5 pp below current poll levels. Historical deviations between the final poll and the result in German state elections average under 2 pp; a CDU result below 8.5% would require an unusual collapse. Per polls, CDU ranks 3rd–4th behind AfD (>33%) and SPD (>28%), but is clearly set to enter the Landtag. No Polymarket market for this specific data point.
Data basis for this prediction
- infratest-dimap.de Mecklenburg-Vorpommern: CDU 9–10 % (Sonntagsfrage, August 2026)
- wahlrecht.de / INSA 13. August 2026: AfD + CDU = 46 %, CDU-Einzelwert ~9–10 % (LTW MV 2026)

The SPD received exactly 18.4% in the 2023 Berlin state election and has since been in opposition. Current polls (August/September 2026) put the SPD at 19–22%, making a result above 18.0% likely. Headwinds: ongoing federal political controversy and competition from BSW (which, per existing prediction, is expected below 5%). The 18.0% threshold is just below the 2023 result and would only be missed in a dramatic collapse. No Polymarket market; Metaculus aggregate implies ~65% for SPD above 18%.

Both current Berlin polls place the FDP far below the 5% threshold: INSA (Sept 2–4, 2026): 3.0%; Infratest dimap (Aug 27–31, 2026): FDP below the statistical detectable threshold. The Berlin FDP has not reached the 5% mark in any poll since spring 2026. Clearing the hurdle would require a simultaneous systematic error of 2+ points from both institutes — historically near-unprecedented. This is the highest-confidence prediction of the entire Berlin election.

Current polls show Liberalerna well below the 4% threshold: Indikator Opinion (fieldwork to September 4, 2026): 2.2%; PolitPro election trend (as of September 9, 2026): 2.7%. Neither institute identifies meaningful upward momentum. The party was part of the Tidö coalition but suffered from its image problems. Even with maximum systematic polling error of +1.5 points, Liberalerna would remain below 4.2%. Failing to enter the Riksdag would cost the governing coalition its parliamentary majority.
