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)
- LTW Mecklenburg-Vorpommern 2021: Die Linke 9,9 % (Landeswahlleiter MV, historisch)
- t-online.de: 'Rot-Rot-Grün (SPD+Linke+Grüne = 45 %) zunehmend realistisch' (August 2026)

Verdict: Miss
Die Linke erzielte laut dem vorläufigen amtlichen Ergebnis des Landeswahlleiters MV vom 20./21. September 2026 nur 6,5 % der Stimmen – deutlich unter der prognostizierten Schwelle von 9,0 %. Das entspricht einem Rückgang von rund 3,4 Prozentpunkten gegenüber dem Ergebnis 2021 (9,9 %). Die Vorhersage lag damit um ca. 2,5 Prozentpunkte zu hoch. Als Hauptursache ist der starke AfD-Anstieg auf 38,2 % und SPD auf 35,5 % zu sehen, die das Feld dominierten; linke Wähler wurden offenbar nicht ausreichend mobilisiert. Die INSA-Umfrage (11 %) überschätzte die Linke erheblich. Quellen: Landeswahlleiter MV (via strelitzius.com, 21.09.2026), Wikipedia 'Landtagswahl in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern 2026', 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.
