Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
The latest INSA poll (September 17, 2026) gives the AfD 19% in Berlin – its first time leading in a Berlin capital poll. PolitPro's trend figure shows 17.8%. The average of both surveys sits at ~18.4%, lifting the probability of a result above 18.0% to ~55%. Historically, right-wing populist parties in Germany tend to slightly outperform their polling numbers on election day. No open AfD prediction for Berlin exists; all prior party predictions cover CDU, SPD, Linke, Grüne, FDP, and BSW.

Verdict: Miss
Die AfD erzielte bei der Berliner Abgeordnetenhauswahl am 20. September 2026 laut den offiziellen Ergebnissen (wahlen-berlin.de, Wikipedia, ZDF heute, taz.de) 16,3 % der Stimmen – deutlich unter der Schwelle von 18,0 %. Trotz des INSA-Umfragewertes von 19 % und eines Trendwertes von 17,8 % blieb die AfD am Wahltag hinter den Umfragen zurück. Die stärkste Kraft wurde die Linke mit 25,7 %, gefolgt von CDU (18,8 %), AfD (16,3 %), Grünen (14,3 %) und SPD (12,1 %). Die Annahme, rechtspopulistische Parteien würden ihr Umfrageergebnis am Wahltag übertreffen, traf hier nicht zu – das Gegenteil war der Fall (ca. 2–3 Prozentpunkte Verlust gegenüber Umfragen).

Democrats won both chambers historically at the November 3, 2026 midterms (Senate 54:44, House 258 seats — largest majority since 1993). Trump's disapproval rating stands at 62% (FiveThirtyEight, Nov 2026). Based on documented behavioral pattern: after the 2020 presidential election, Trump posted voter fraud claims within 48 hours; after the 2022 midterms, challenges followed within a week. Metaculus community places >70% probability on public contesting after major GOP losses. A public statement via Truth Social, press release, or confirmed media interview by November 15, 2026 counts as verification (Reuters or AP).

Ukrainian, US, and Russian negotiators convene November 10–11 in Abu Dhabi. Russia conducted large-scale long-range strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure and logistics hubs on November 3–4; Ukraine responded with drone strikes on the Ryazan refinery. Positions on territory and security guarantees remain far apart. No Polymarket or Kalshi market covers this specific event; historical base rate for failure of comparable trilateral talks: >80%.

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.
