Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
Two recent polls send conflicting signals: Infratest dimap NDR (July 2026) shows BSW at 4% — below the threshold — while INSA (June 2026) showed 6%. The more recent Infratest poll trends downward. BSW is losing national profile as Sahra Wagenknecht left the European Parliament and party consolidation has stalled. No prediction market trades this directly; based on polls and party trend, the probability of failing the threshold is estimated at approximately 58%.
Data basis for this prediction
- Infratest dimap NDR-Umfrage Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Juli 2026: BSW 4 % (t-online.de, dawum.de)
- INSA-Umfrage Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Juni 2026: BSW 6 % (wahlrecht.de)
- BSW-Bundestrend: Rückgang auf 3–5 % in Westdeutschland, 5–7 % in Ostdeutschland (Statista, August 2026)
- Landtagswahl MV, Datum: 20. September 2026 (Landeswahlleiter MV)
Verdict: Hit
Die Vorhersage ist eingetreten. BSW erzielte bei der Landtagswahl Mecklenburg-Vorpommern am 20. September 2026 laut vorläufigem amtlichen Endergebnis 4,8 % und scheiterte damit knapp an der 5%-Sperrklausel. Der Landtag setzt sich aus vier Fraktionen zusammen: AfD (38,2 %), SPD (35,5 %), Linke (6,5 %) und Grüne (5,7 %). BSW zog nicht 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.
