CDU achieves more than 8.5% of valid votes in the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state election on 20 September 2026 (confirmed by state returning officer MV or tagesschau.de)

Miss ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 29. August 2026 · Predicted for 20. September 2026 · Based on: Historical Cycle
Probability
76%

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)
  • t-online.de 'MV-Wahl 2026: Wahlumfrage': CDU bei 9–10 %; SPD und AfD als Spitzenreiter (August 2026)
  • Historische Abweichung Umfrage/Ergebnis deutsche Landtagswahlen: ≤2 pp im Schnitt (eigene Kalibrierung)
Verdict: Miss
Die CDU erzielte bei der Landtagswahl Mecklenburg-Vorpommern am 20. September 2026 lediglich 4,9 % der Stimmen – deutlich unter der Vorhersageschwelle von 8,5 %. Damit verfehlte die CDU erstmals in ihrer Geschichte den Einzug in ein deutsches Landesparlament überhaupt (knapp ~1.100 Stimmen unter der 5-%-Hürde). Dieser Einbruch von 13,3 % (2021) auf 4,9 % war historisch außergewöhnlich und weit jenseits der angenommenen durchschnittlichen Umfrage-Abweichung von unter 2 pp. Quellen: Landeswahlleiter MV (laiv-mv.de), Landtag MV (landtag-mv.de), bpb.de, Wikipedia.

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.
