Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
Reference data: CDU MV 2021 = 13.3%; CDU Brandenburg 2024 = 12.1% — benchmarks for comparable eastern German states. Countervailing forces: AfD gains (open platform prediction AfD MV > 34%) compress CDU voter reservoir; conversely, the CDU federal government (Merz) supports the party brand. BSW and Greens are predicted to fail the 5% threshold, potentially redirecting centrist votes toward the CDU. A range of 11–16% appears realistic; the 12.0% threshold is estimated to be crossed with ~62% probability based on eastern benchmarks. No CDU threshold for MV exists in the open prediction list — no duplicate.
Data basis for this prediction

Verdict: Miss
Die CDU erzielte bei der Landtagswahl Mecklenburg-Vorpommern am 20. September 2026 lediglich 4,9 % der Stimmen – weit unter der Vorhersageschwelle von 12,0 % und sogar unter der 5-%-Hürde. Damit zog die CDU erstmals in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik nicht in ein Landesparlament ein. Das Ergebnis ist ein historisches Desaster. Gewonnen hat die AfD mit 38,2 %, gefolgt von der SPD mit 35,5 %, der Linken mit 6,5 % und den Grünen mit 5,7 %. Die Vorhersage unterschätzte den AfD-Zuwachs massiv und übersah, dass der AfD-Zulauf nicht nur das CDU-Reservoir komprimierte, sondern ihn beinahe vollständig absorbierte.

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.
