Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
The SPD received exactly 18.4% in the 2023 Berlin state election and has since been in opposition. Current polls (August/September 2026) put the SPD at 19–22%, making a result above 18.0% likely. Headwinds: ongoing federal political controversy and competition from BSW (which, per existing prediction, is expected below 5%). The 18.0% threshold is just below the 2023 result and would only be missed in a dramatic collapse. No Polymarket market; Metaculus aggregate implies ~65% for SPD above 18%.
Data basis for this prediction
- Abgeordnetenhauswahl Berlin 2023: SPD 18,4 % (Landeswahlleiter Berlin, Februar 2023)
- Wahlumfragen Berlin August/September 2026: SPD 19–22 % (Infratest dimap, Forsa – Stand September 2026)
- Metaculus Berlin 2026 SPD >18 %: ~65 % Wahrscheinlichkeit (Stand 10. September 2026)
Verdict: Miss
Die SPD erzielte bei der Berliner Abgeordnetenhauswahl am 20. September 2026 laut übereinstimmenden Quellen (Wikipedia, politpro.eu, wahlen-berlin.de) nur 12,1 % der Stimmen – ein Rückgang von 6,3 Prozentpunkten gegenüber dem Ergebnis 2023 (18,4 %). Die Schwelle von 18,0 % wurde damit deutlich verfehlt. Die SPD erzielte damit ihr historisch schlechtestes Ergebnis bei einer Berliner Abgeordnetenhauswahl. Gewinnerin der Wahl war überraschend Die Linke mit 25,7 %, gefolgt von CDU (18,8 %), AfD (16,3 %) und Grünen (14,3 %).

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.
