Bündnis 90/Die Grünen clears the 5% threshold at the Saxony-Anhalt state election (Sep 6, 2026) and enters parliament (confirmed by Saxony-Anhalt election authority or tagesschau.de)

Hit ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 31. August 2026 · Predicted for 6. September 2026 · Based on: Historical Cycle
Probability
55%

The latest PolitPro poll for Saxony-Anhalt (August 2026) shows the Greens at 5.4% — just above the 5% threshold. BSW (3.9%) and FDP (3.2%) clearly fail in polls. The forecast error for threshold candidates is historically ±1.5–2%, making failure through a slight overestimation error realistic. Eastern German voters historically show low residual mobilization for the Greens; the current reading is barely above the critical boundary.

Data basis for this prediction
  • PolitPro Sachsen-Anhalt Wahlumfragen Aug 2026: Grüne 5,4 %, BSW 3,9 %, FDP 3,2 %
  • PolitPro Election Trend Sachsen-Anhalt: Projektion ohne Grüne (5-Parteien-Szenario)
  • Yahoo News 'Germany's AfD leads Sachsen-Anhalt poll at 37%' (Aug 2026)
Verdict: Hit
[Vorzeitig entschieden] Grüne erzielten 5,9 % und übersprang die 5 %-Sperrklausel — zieht in den Landtag ein. Quellen: Wikipedia, bpb.de.

Berlin state election (20 September 2026): SPD receives more than 18.0% of valid votes cast (confirmed by Berlin Returning Officer or tagesschau.de by 21 September 2026)

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%.

Berlin Abgeordnetenhaus election (September 20, 2026): FDP falls below 5.0% of valid votes and fails to enter the Abgeordnetenhaus (confirmed by Berlin returning officer or tagesschau.de by September 21, 2026)

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.

Swedish Riksdag election (September 13, 2026): Liberalerna (L) falls below 4.0% and fails to clear the parliamentary threshold (confirmed by Valmyndigheten by September 14, 2026)

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.
