Predicted for 6. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
Latest INSA poll for Saxony-Anhalt (August 2026, for Bild): AfD 42%, CDU 23%, Die Linke 13%, SPD 7%, Greens exactly 5.0% – right on the threshold, statistical margin of error ±2–3 pp. The Greens won only 5.9% in Saxony-Anhalt's 2021 election and historically have shallow roots in eastern Germany. With a strongly AfD-polarised electorate, the Greens' national collapse after leaving government in 2024/25, and the local candidate environment, marginal factors tilt slightly toward missing the threshold. No direct Polymarket market; forecast reflects a genuine near-50:50 with a small lean toward failure based on eastern Germany historical patterns.

Verdict: Miss
Die Grünen erzielten laut Wikipedia (2026 Saxony-Anhalt state election) ca. 8,93 % der Stimmen und zogen mit 8 Sitzen klar in den Landtag ein – weit über der 5%-Hürde. Die INSA-Umfrage (5,0 %) hatte das tatsächliche Ergebnis massiv unterschätzt; die Grünen verdoppelten ihren Stimmanteil gegenüber dem Umfragewert nahezu. Nicht die Grünen, sondern die FDP (2,58 %) scheiterte an der Sperrklausel. Die Prognose war in allen wesentlichen Punkten falsch.

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.
