Predicted for 6. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
Current polls (Infratest dimap / DAWUM, as of August–September 2026) put The Left at 13% in Saxony-Anhalt. In 2021 they got 11.0% there. Eastern Germany remains a structurally stronger base than the national average (~4–5%). A result above 10% is well supported by polls — the margin above the threshold is ~3 percentage points. Risk: AfD mobilisation could draw votes away. No direct prediction market anchor.
Data basis for this prediction
- DAWUM-Wahlumfragen Sachsen-Anhalt 2026: Die Linke 13 % (Stand ca. 1. September 2026)
- Sachsen-Anhalt-Landtagswahl 2021: Die Linke 11,0 % (Landeswahlleiter ST)
- Bundestrend Die Linke Aug 2026: ~4–5 % (INSA Sonntagsfrage)
Verdict: Miss
Die Linke erzielte laut amtlichem Ergebnis und Wikipedia 8,6 % der Zweitstimmen (wahlrecht.de: 8,56 %) — damit deutlich unter der Vorhersageschwelle von mehr als 10,0 %. Es war sogar das bislang schlechteste Ergebnis der Partei in Sachsen-Anhalt (−2,4 Prozentpunkte gegenüber 11,0 % im Jahr 2021). Die Partei zog zwar mit 8 Sitzen in den Landtag ein (da sie die 5 %-Hürde überschritt), aber die spezifische Bedingung der Vorhersage — mehr als 10 % — wurde klar verfehlt. Quellen: Wikipedia 'Landtagswahl in Sachsen-Anhalt 2026'; wahlrecht.de Ergebnisseite; wahlergebnisse.sachsen-anhalt.de (alle 2.661 Wahlbezirke ausgezählt, Stand 7. September 2026, 3:21 Uhr).

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.
