Based on: Historical Cycle
BSW is currently polling at 4–5% in Saxony-Anhalt ahead of the September 6, 2026 election – right at the 5% threshold. According to t-online/dawum.de, BSW is among 'four parties that are in suspense' about clearing the threshold. BSW is already represented in Thuringia, Saxony, and Brandenburg state parliaments; Saxony-Anhalt would be a new, more competitive test. Risks: BSW core voters may shift to AfD or Die Linke; campaigning is difficult for a newer party in an AfD-dominated market (AfD 42%). Open predictions for the SA election (AfD >38%, CDU <25%, SPD fails 5%, coalition without AfD) are all fully compatible with BSW entering parliament. No Polymarket market available; calibration based on current polling (BSW 4–5%).
Data basis for this prediction
- Sachsen-Anhalt Wahlumfragen August 2026: AfD 42%, CDU 22%, Linke 13%, BSW 4–5% (t-online.de / dawum.de / INSA, August 2026)
- 'Sachsen-Anhalt-Wahl: vier Parteien zittern' – BSW explizit als Grenzfall bei der 5%-Sperrklausel (t-online.de, August 2026)
- BSW Landtagspräsenz: Thüringen, Sachsen, Brandenburg (Einzug 2024), Sachsen-Anhalt wäre fünfter Landtag
Verdict: Hit
[Vorzeitig entschieden] BSW erzielte 5,0–5,1 % (mindestens 5,0 %) und zog in den Landtag ein (4 Sitze). Quelle: ZDF-Hochrechnung, wahlrecht.de

The SPD received exactly 18.4% in the 2023 Berlin state election and has since been in opposition. Current polls (August/September 2026) put the SPD at 19–22%, making a result above 18.0% likely. Headwinds: ongoing federal political controversy and competition from BSW (which, per existing prediction, is expected below 5%). The 18.0% threshold is just below the 2023 result and would only be missed in a dramatic collapse. No Polymarket market; Metaculus aggregate implies ~65% for SPD above 18%.

Both current Berlin polls place the FDP far below the 5% threshold: INSA (Sept 2–4, 2026): 3.0%; Infratest dimap (Aug 27–31, 2026): FDP below the statistical detectable threshold. The Berlin FDP has not reached the 5% mark in any poll since spring 2026. Clearing the hurdle would require a simultaneous systematic error of 2+ points from both institutes — historically near-unprecedented. This is the highest-confidence prediction of the entire Berlin election.

Current polls show Liberalerna well below the 4% threshold: Indikator Opinion (fieldwork to September 4, 2026): 2.2%; PolitPro election trend (as of September 9, 2026): 2.7%. Neither institute identifies meaningful upward momentum. The party was part of the Tidö coalition but suffered from its image problems. Even with maximum systematic polling error of +1.5 points, Liberalerna would remain below 4.2%. Failing to enter the Riksdag would cost the governing coalition its parliamentary majority.
