Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
Current polls (wahlrecht.de, dawum.de, Ipsos) show the FDP in Berlin at 4% – just below the 5% threshold. t-online.de explicitly reports: 'BSW and FDP worry about entering parliament.' After the 'Ampel' collapse, the FDP's brand image is particularly damaged in Berlin; voters are migrating to the CDU (19%) and Greens (15%). Historically, parties at 4% in the final poll aggregate clear the 5% hurdle in German state elections in fewer than 30% of cases. The BSW (also at 4%) is already predicted on the platform as failing – the FDP faces the identical situation.

- wahlrecht.de: Berliner Abgeordnetenhaus Sonntagsfrage – FDP 4 % (09.09.2026)
- t-online.de: 'Umfrage zur Berlin-Wahl 2026 – BSW und FDP bangen um Einzug' (08.09.2026)
- Ipsos: Umfrage Berlin-Wahl 2026 – FDP unter 5 % (September 2026)
Verdict: Hit
Die FDP erzielte bei der Abgeordnetenhauswahl Berlin am 20. September 2026 lediglich ca. 2,5 % der Zweitstimmen (laut Landeswahlleiter Berlin / wahlen-berlin.de) – deutlich unter der 5-%-Sperrklausel. Die Partei zog damit nicht in das Abgeordnetenhaus ein. Die Vorhersage trat klar ein; die FDP verfehlte die Hürde sogar erheblich stärker als in den Umfragen (4 %) erwartet.

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.
