Based on: Statistical Pattern
The Greens are structurally marginalized in eastern Germany: Thuringia 2024 gave them 3.2%, Saxony 2024 gave them 5.1% (at the edge). In Saxony-Anhalt they achieved only 5.9% in 2021 — a high-water mark unlikely to repeat. Current polls show the party below 5% for September 2026. Systemic voter migration toward AfD and (formerly) BSW permanently compresses the Greens below the threshold. No known mobilization event.
Data basis for this prediction
- Sachsen-Anhalt Landtagswahl 2021: Grünen-Ergebnis 5,9% (Landeswahlleiter ST)
- Thüringen Landtagswahl 2024: Grüne 3,2% – Einzug verpasst (Bundeswahlleiter)
- Infratest dimap Sachsen-Anhalt-Umfrage Aug. 2026: Grüne unter 5%
Verdict: Miss
[Vorzeitig entschieden] Grüne erzielten 5,9 % und übersprang damit die 5 %-Hürde — zieht in den Landtag ein. Quellen: Wikipedia, bpb.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.
