Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
FDP polls at 3.1% per politpro.eu aggregate (September 2, 2026) in Berlin — nearly 2 percentage points below the 5% threshold. Following the federal coalition collapse in 2024 and poor results in the 2025 federal election, FDP is in structural crisis. In Berlin, FDP has consistently failed to mobilize beyond single-digit territory in recent years. No Polymarket market for Berlin-FDP.
Data basis for this prediction
- politpro.eu Berlin Wahltrend 2. Sep 2026: FDP 3,1 % (politpro.eu/de/berlin)
- Dawum.de Berlin Sonntagsfrage: FDP stabil ~3 % in allen Umfragen Sep 2026

- FDP Bundestrend: strukturell geschwächt nach Ampel-Aus (2024), Bundestagswahl 2025-Debakel
Verdict: Hit
Die Vorhersage ist eingetreten. Laut dem vorläufigen amtlichen Ergebnis des Berliner Landeswahlleiters (veröffentlicht am 21. September 2026) erhielt die FDP nur 2,5 % der Zweitstimmen (46.341 Stimmen) und 2,2 % der Erststimmen — klar unter der 5 %-Sperrklausel. Die FDP zog damit nicht ins Abgeordnetenhaus ein.

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.
