Based on: Statistical Pattern
Latest INSA poll for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (August 4–11, 2026, 1,000 respondents): FDP 3% – well below the 5% threshold. The FDP has not been represented in the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state parliament since 2011 (2021 result: 2.4%). Nationally, the FDP has struggled chronically in eastern Germany since the coalition collapse (late 2024) and loss of Bundestag seats (2025). A +2 pp recovery in four weeks without a clear mobilisation trigger is statistically unrealistic. Very high forecast confidence; residual uncertainty buffer for unexpected late polling swings and election-day turnout.

Verdict: Hit
Die FDP erzielte bei der Landtagswahl Mecklenburg-Vorpommern am 20. September 2026 lediglich 1,0 % der Stimmen – weit unter der 5%-Sperrklausel. Das endgültige Ergebnis wurde vom Landeswahlleiter Dr. Christian Boden am 30. September 2026 bestätigt. Die Vorhersage trat klar ein; tatsächlich blieb die FDP sogar noch deutlich unter dem in der Umfrage gemessenen Wert von 3 %.

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.
