Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
Current INSA polls (Aug 4–11, 2026, N=1,000) place the Greens in MV exactly at 5% — right on the threshold. Eastern German elections historically show pronounced tactical voting shifts: in Saxony and Thuringia 2024, the Greens failed despite national polling at 7–9%. In MV, the Greens have traditionally been weak (2021: 6.3%, barely made it in). The high AfD share (36%) and SPD dominance (29%) make tactical Green-friendly vote splitting less likely. No specific Polymarket market found; a genuine coin-flip.
Data basis for this prediction
- INSA-Umfrage MV 4.–11. August 2026: Grünen 5,0 % (t-online.de, infratest-dimap; N=1.000)
- MV Landtagswahl 2021: Grünen 6,3 % (knapper Einzug) – historische Referenz (wahlrecht.de)
- Grünen Sachsen/Thüringen 2024: scheiterten an 5%-Sperrklausel trotz höherer Bundesumfragen (tagesschau.de)
- MV Wahlrecht: 5%-Sperrklausel ohne Direktmandat-Überhangregelung für Kleine (wahlrecht.de)
Verdict: Miss
Die Grünen erhielten laut vorläufigem amtlichem Endergebnis des Landeswahlleiters MV 5,7 % der Stimmen und zogen mit 5 Sitzen in den Landtag ein. Die Vorhersage, sie würden an der 5%-Hürde scheitern, trat nicht ein. Anders als in Sachsen und Thüringen 2024 gelang den Grünen in MV der knappe Einzug. CDU (4,9 %) und FDP (1,0 %) scheiterten hingegen an der Sperrklausel. Quellen: laiv-mv.de (Landeswahlleiter MV), landtag-mv.de (vorläufiges amtliches Endergebnis), wahlrecht.de

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.
