Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
The Infratest dimap poll of September 11, 2026, places BSW at 4% of Berlin second votes; the 14-day average across all Berlin surveys (Dawum, Politmonitor, Ipsos) consistently shows ~4%. No available Berlin poll shows BSW at or above 5%. Without direct constituency wins or a prominent local lead candidate, there are no structural conditions for a threshold jump. No Polymarket/Kalshi market exists for this datapoint; an analogous outcome (BSW failing 5% in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern on the same election day) is already an open prediction on the platform.
Data basis for this prediction
- Infratest dimap Umfrage Berlin, 11. Sep. 2026: BSW 4 % (t-online.de, Sep. 2026)
- 14-Tage-Schnitt Berliner Wahlumfragen: CDU 20 %, Linke 19,3 %, AfD/Grüne je 18 %, SPD 11 %, BSW ~4 % (dawum.de / Politmonitor, Sep. 2026)
- Ipsos-Umfrage Abgeordnetenhauswahl Berlin 2026: SPD 11 %, BSW ~4 % (Ipsos, Sep. 2026)
Verdict: Hit
BSW erzielte bei der Abgeordnetenhauswahl Berlin am 20. September 2026 laut übereinstimmenden Quellen (Wikipedia, KAS-Wahlanalyse, Al Jazeera, politpro.eu) 4,7 % der Zweitstimmen und scheiterte damit klar an der 5-%-Sperrklausel. Ein Einzug ins Abgeordnetenhaus fand nicht statt. Die Vorhersage (≤ 5 %, kein Einzug) ist vollständig eingetreten; der tatsächliche Wert lag sogar 0,3 Punkte unter dem prognostizierten Umfragewert von ~4 %.

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.
