Berlin House of Representatives election (20 September 2026): FDP receives less than 5.0% of votes cast and fails to enter the Berlin parliament

Hit ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 14. September 2026 · Predicted for 20. September 2026 · Based on: Statistical Pattern
Probability
90%

Current polls (Forsa/Infratest, 13 September 2026) put the Berlin FDP at only 3.4% — well below the 5% threshold. The FDP already failed in Berlin in 2023 with 4.6%. Following the collapse of the federal coalition, the FDP's exit from the Bundestag in 2025, and the absence of prominent Berlin state politicians, a swing from 3.4% to above 5.0% within one week is barely realistic. No prediction market (Polymarket, Metaculus) directly trades this question, but the 1.6 pp polling gap and historical underperformance in Berlin support a probability of ~90%.

Data basis for this prediction
  • Forsa/Infratest dimap Berlin-Umfrage 13.09.2026: FDP 3,4 % (politpro.eu)
  • Berliner Abgeordnetenhauswahl 2023: FDP 4,6 % (Landeswahlleiter Berlin)
  • Bundestagswahl 2025: FDP unter 5 % und aus Bundestag ausgeschieden (Bundeswahlleiter)
  • Wikipedia: 2026 Berlin state election – FDP polling trend seit Frühjahr 2026 rückläufig
Verdict: Hit
Die FDP erzielte bei der Abgeordnetenhauswahl Berlin am 20. September 2026 lediglich 2,5 % der Zweitstimmen – deutlich unter der 5-%-Sperrklausel – und zog damit nicht in das Abgeordnetenhaus ein (0 Mandate). Das Ergebnis fiel sogar noch schlechter aus als die Umfragewerte von 3,4 % vom 13. September 2026 suggerierten. Die Vorhersage ist vollständig eingetreten.

Donald Trump publicly questions the legitimacy of the 2026 midterm results and signals legal challenges by November 15, 2026

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).

Alberto Núñez Feijóo (PP) secures parliamentary majority with Vox coalition and becomes Spanish Prime Minister — General Election 29 November 2026 (confirmed by Junta Electoral Central or AP by 1 December 2026)

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.
