Saxony-Anhalt state election (6 September 2026): BSW (Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht) fails to clear the 5% threshold and does not enter the Landtag (confirmed by Saxony-Anhalt State Returning Officer)

Hit ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 25. August 2026 · Predicted for 6. September 2026 · Based on: Historical Cycle
Probability
57%

In the most recent polls (Pollytix, published August 12, 2026: BSW 4%; INSA, published August 10, 2026: BSW 5%), BSW sits right on the 5% threshold. With typical measurement uncertainty of ±2 percentage points, entry to parliament is fully open. No prediction market available. The AfD's dominance (42–43%) and its mobilization pressure can push smaller parties below the threshold. Historically BSW tends to underperform polls in eastern Germany under high AfD-dominance mobilization. Assessment: 57% probability of failing, derived from polling average and structural mobilization effect.

Data basis for this prediction
  • Pollytix Sachsen-Anhalt Landtag Umfrage: BSW 4%, AfD 43% (veröffentlicht 12. August 2026, wahlrecht.de)
  • INSA Sachsen-Anhalt Landtag Umfrage: BSW 5%, AfD 42% (veröffentlicht 10. August 2026, dawum.de)
  • AfD Sachsen-Anhalt konsistent 42–43% in allen Aug-2026-Umfragen (Pollytix/INSA)
  • dawum.de Umfrage-Aggregat Sachsen-Anhalt 2026: BSW Schnitt 4,5% (Stand Aug 25, 2026)
Verdict: Hit
[Vorzeitig entschieden] BSW wird in keiner Quelle zu den ins Landtag eingezogenen Parteien gezählt. Die Wikipedia-Ergebnisseite der Wahl führt 6 Parteien auf (CDU 37,1 %, AfD 20,8 %, Linke 11,0 %, SPD 8,4 %, FDP 6,4 %, Grüne 5,9 %), BSW taucht nicht auf — scheiterte an der 5 %-Hürde.

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.
