Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state election (September 20, 2026): Die Linke fails to clear the 5% threshold and does not enter the state parliament (confirmed by Landeswahlleiter Mecklenburg-Vorpommern)

Miss ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 22. August 2026 · Predicted for 20. September 2026 · Based on: Statistical Pattern

Probability

66%

Die Linke is in decline in eastern German states: Saxony 2024 — 4.5% (failed), Brandenburg 2024 — 3.0% (failed). BSW (Wagenknecht) has absorbed a large share of traditional Linke voters in MV. The open platform prediction for MV already expects BSW to land below 5% — if even BSW struggles after absorbing Linke voters, Die Linke itself is structurally weaker still. Nationally Die Linke polls at 2–3% (INSA/Forsa August 2026). In MV 2021 they received ~9.9%, but the collapse since then has been dramatic. No specific MV 2026 polls found; inference from comparable eastern state elections.

Data basis for this prediction

Bundeswahlleiter/Landeswahlleiter: Sachsen 2024 Die Linke 4,5 %; Brandenburg 2024 Die Linke 3,0 % (unter 5 %)
INSA/Forsa: Die Linke bundesweit 2–3 % (Aug 2026)
Wahlrecht.de: Langfristiger Stimmenverlust Die Linke in Ostdeutschland 2021–2026
Offene Plattformprognose: BSW in MV verfehlt ebenfalls 5%-Sperrklausel (Hinweis auf allgemeinen Linkenkollaps)

Verdict: Miss

Die Linke erzielte laut endgültigem amtlichem Ergebnis des Landeswahlleiters (Dr. Christian Boden, 30. September 2026) 6,5 Prozent der Zweitstimmen und zieht mit 5 Sitzen in den Landtag ein – die 5%-Sperrklausel wurde klar überwunden. Die Vorhersage lag damit falsch. Stattdessen scheiterte die CDU überraschend mit 4,9 % an der Hürde, während auch BSW den Einzug verfehlte. Die Linke verlor zwar 3,4 Prozentpunkte gegenüber 2021 (9,9 %), konnte sich aber – anders als in Sachsen (4,5 %) oder Brandenburg (3,0 %) – in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern über der Schwelle halten, u. a. gestützt durch starke Ergebnisse in Städten wie Rostock.

Alberto Núñez Feijóo (PP) secures parliamentary majority with Vox coalition and becomes Spanish Prime Minister — General Election 29 November 2026 (confirmed by Junta Electoral Central or AP by 1 December 2026)

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.

Roger Wicker (Republican) retains the US Senate seat in Mississippi after recount — confirmed by AP or NBC News by 20 November 2026

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.

Mary Peltola (Democrat) wins the US Senate seat in Alaska against Dan Sullivan (Republican) — US Midterm Elections November 3, 2026 (confirmed by AP or NBC News by November 5, 2026)

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.
