Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
All four latest polls (early September 2026) place the AfD clearly above the 35% threshold: Infratest dimap 38%, Forschungsgruppe Wahlen 37%, Pollytix 36%, INSA 36%. No pollster measures AfD below 36%, so the minimum reading still clears the threshold by one full percentage point. This prediction raises the bar from the already-covered '>30%' threshold. The SPD trails at 30–34%. A systematic cross-institute mobilization effect against the AfD would be required to push the result below 35%.
Data basis for this prediction
- Infratest dimap (7.–9. Sep 2026): AfD 38 %, SPD 33 %, DIE LINKE 9 %, CDU 7 %
- Forschungsgruppe Wahlen (7.–10. Sep 2026): AfD 37 %, SPD 34 %
- Pollytix (8.–9. Sep 2026): AfD 36 %, SPD 30 %, DIE LINKE 12 %
- INSA (1.–8. Sep 2026): AfD 36 %, SPD 33 %
Verdict: Pending

Polymarket prices Democrats at 59% for Senate control as of 15 September 2026 ($4.5M trading volume). Nate Silver's model gives Democrats 56.5%. Republicans hold a 53-47 majority; Dems need 4 net gains. Key vulnerable Republican seats: North Carolina (Roy Cooper leading), Iowa, Ohio, Texas (structurally tough). With Trump's approval underwater and Democrats +8 on the generic ballot, the market consensus of ~59% for a Democratic Senate flip is well-calibrated. Cassandra applies a marginal discount to 58%.

Current polls (Politpro.eu, as of ca. September 14, 2026) show the AfD at 17.9% in Berlin — clearly above the 16.5% threshold. A drop of more than 1.4 percentage points from current polls would be required to miss the prediction. The AfD ranks third behind Die Linke (19.8%) and CDU (19.6%). No Berlin-specific Polymarket markets available; calibration based on Politpro.eu polling data. Note: the open MV prediction (AfD >30%) is separate; in Berlin the party is weaker but firmly double-digit.

The 2021 State Duma election recorded an official turnout of 51.72% — a figure the Kremlin viewed as critically low. Since then, 3-day voting has been institutionalised, e-voting (u-Golosovaniye) rolled out nationwide, and intensive loyalty campaigns run under the framing of the Ukraine war. The 2024 presidential election officially hit 77.4%. Parliamentary elections historically generate less mobilisation than presidential contests; a reported figure between 60% and 70% appears realistic. Polymarket and Metaculus carry no direct quotes. Estimate based on historical Russian election data (CEC 2021, Reuters 2024, OSCE/ODIHR reports). No contradiction with open predictions on party vote shares.
