Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
All current polls consistently show BSW at 3–4%: Infratest dimap (Sep 3, 2026): 4%; Forsa (Sep 2, 2026): 4%; INSA (Aug 13, 2026): 4%. Dawum.de aggregate: BSW 4%. A recovery of >1 percentage point by election day is unlikely given the uniform data and current federal trend for BSW. Historical analogy: BSW already failed to enter the Saxony-Anhalt state parliament (September 6, 2026, confirmed) and several other state parliaments in 2025/26. Polymarket implied probabilities treat a BSW entry as very unlikely.
Data basis for this prediction
- Infratest dimap (3. Sep 2026): BSW 4 % MV – dawum.de
- Forsa (2. Sep 2026): BSW 4 % MV – dawum.de
- INSA (13. Aug 2026): BSW 4 % MV – dawum.de
- Cassandra-Trefferquote: BSW scheiterte Sachsen-Anhalt-LTW 6. Sep 2026 (bestätigt, hit)

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%.

Both current Berlin polls place the FDP far below the 5% threshold: INSA (Sept 2–4, 2026): 3.0%; Infratest dimap (Aug 27–31, 2026): FDP below the statistical detectable threshold. The Berlin FDP has not reached the 5% mark in any poll since spring 2026. Clearing the hurdle would require a simultaneous systematic error of 2+ points from both institutes — historically near-unprecedented. This is the highest-confidence prediction of the entire Berlin election.

Current polls show Liberalerna well below the 4% threshold: Indikator Opinion (fieldwork to September 4, 2026): 2.2%; PolitPro election trend (as of September 9, 2026): 2.7%. Neither institute identifies meaningful upward momentum. The party was part of the Tidö coalition but suffered from its image problems. Even with maximum systematic polling error of +1.5 points, Liberalerna would remain below 4.2%. Failing to enter the Riksdag would cost the governing coalition its parliamentary majority.
