Predicted for 6. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
Current polls (August 2026, wahlrecht.de / t-online.de) show the SPD in Saxony-Anhalt at approximately 7% – a clear downward trend from 8.4% (2021) and 10.6% (2016). The party suffers from the nationwide SPD decline, which is especially pronounced in eastern German states. Die Linke (approx. 13%) and BSW compete for overlapping voter pools. With a polling median of ~7% and a margin of error of ±2 percentage points, a result below 9.0% is highly probable. No Polymarket/Metaculus market for this threshold; calibration is based on polling data.
Data basis for this prediction
- Sachsen-Anhalt Wahlumfragen Aug. 2026: SPD ~7%, CDU ~23%, Linke ~13% (wahlrecht.de / t-online.de, Stand: 28.08.2026)

Verdict: Miss
Die SPD erzielte 9,30 % der Zweitstimmen bei der Sachsen-Anhalt-Landtagswahl am 6. September 2026 – und verfehlte damit die Schwelle von 9,0 % nicht nach unten, sondern übertraf sie knapp. Die Vorhersage (< 9,0 %) traf nicht ein: Trotz des prognostizierten Abwärtstrends und Umfragewerten von ~7 % schnitt die SPD besser ab als erwartet und zog mit 8 Mandaten in den Landtag ein.

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.
