Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
INSA survey (Nordkurier, August 2026): Die Linke MV at 11%. The 9% threshold is 2pp below the current poll. At the 2021 MV election Die Linke received 9.9% — the historical base supports the 9% hurdle as non-trivial. The possible red-red-green coalition option (SPD + Linke + Grüne = 45% per INSA) gives Die Linke voters a tactical mobilization incentive. Risks: BSW polls at 4% in MV (below the 5% threshold, so its votes are lost), which could attract tactical Linke voters; conversely, BSW's failure strengthens Die Linke as the left alternative. No MV-specific Polymarket markets.
Data basis for this prediction
- INSA/Nordkurier Umfrage MV (4.–11.08.2026): Die Linke 11 %, BSW 4 % (Stand 13.08.2026)

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.
