Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
The race is an unprecedented head-to-head duel: INSA (September 16, 2026) shows AfD at 37%, SPD at 35% — AfD ahead. Forschungsgruppe Wahlen/ZDF (Sept 14–17) shows SPD at 37%, AfD at 36% — SPD marginally ahead. In the weighted average, both are essentially tied, with slightly more recent data points favoring AfD. No Polymarket anchor available. This prediction is distinct from the open 'AfD >35%' prediction: AfD could become the strongest party even at 33–34% if SPD falls below. Counterargument: Minister-President Schwesig (SPD) has a strong incumbency bonus; SPD last-minute mobilization historically strong in MV.
Data basis for this prediction
- INSA-Poll MV, 16. September 2026: AfD 37 %, SPD 35 %, Grüne 5 %, BSW 4 %
- Forschungsgruppe Wahlen/ZDF MV, 14.–17. September 2026: SPD 37 %, AfD 36 %

Verdict: Hit
Die Vorhersage ist eingetreten. Bei der Landtagswahl am 20. September 2026 erzielte die AfD 38,2 % der Stimmen (32 Sitze), die SPD 35,5 % (29 Sitze). Die AfD wurde damit erstmals stärkste Kraft im Schweriner Landtag, mit einem Vorsprung von 2,7 Prozentpunkten. Der Amtsbonus von Ministerpräsidentin Schwesig konnte den Rückstand der SPD nicht vollständig kompensieren.

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.
