Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
The CDU still received 28.2% at the 2023 Berlin state election and provided governing mayor Kai Wegner. Existing predictions for the same election see Die Linke as the strongest party (>19%), Greens >14%, SPD >12% — indicating substantial CDU erosion. Nevertheless, a CDU collapse below 15% seems unlikely: even at its historic low in 2011 (17.6%), the CDU remained well above that threshold. Current poll aggregators place Berlin CDU 2026 in the 15–20% range, with the lower bound at ~16%. No Polymarket contract; calibrated from 2023 result and political shifts.
Data basis for this prediction
- CDU Berlin Abgeordnetenhauswahl 2023: 28,2 % (Landeswahlleiter Berlin, 12.2.2023)
- CDU Berlin historisches Minimum: 17,6 % (Abgeordnetenhauswahl 2011, Landeswahlleiter)
- Politico EU Umfrage-Aggregator Berlin LTW 2026: CDU ~15–20 % (Stand 3.9.2026)
- Bestehende Cassandra-Vorhersagen: Linke >19 % (stärkste Partei), Grüne >14 %, SPD >12 %
Verdict: Hit
Die CDU erzielte bei der Berliner Abgeordnetenhauswahl am 20. September 2026 laut übereinstimmenden Quellen (Wikipedia, statistiken-aktuell.de, politpro.eu) 18,8 % der abgegebenen Stimmen. Damit lag das Ergebnis klar über der Schwelle von 15,0 %, sodass die Vorhersage eingetreten ist. Die CDU verlor zwar erheblich (–9,5 Prozentpunkte gegenüber 28,2 % in 2023), blieb aber mit 18,8 % deutlich oberhalb der prognostizierten Untergrenze. Stärkste Partei wurde Die Linke mit 25,7 %.

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.
