Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
The most recent INSA poll for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (field period 4-11 August 2026, via Nordkurier/dawum.de) shows CDU at 10%. For CDU to fall below 5%, it would need to halve its current polling — an unprecedented collapse in this state. BSW (4%) and FDP (3%) are the realistic candidates to miss the threshold; CDU explicitly is not. CDU has always exceeded 10% in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (2021: 28.8%; 2016: 19.0%). Estimated probability: 88%.
Data basis for this prediction
- INSA/Nordkurier (Erhebung 4.–11. Aug 2026): AfD 36 %, SPD 29 %, Linke 11 %, CDU 10 %, Grüne 5 %, BSW 4 %, FDP 3 %
- dawum.de/Mecklenburg-Vorpommern: Aggregierter MV-Wahltrend (Stand 22. Aug 2026)
- t-online.de MV-Wahl (Aug 2026): BSW und FDP unter der Sperrklausel — CDU nicht erwähnt
- Landeswahlleiter MV historisch: CDU-Ergebnisse 2021 (28,8 %), 2016 (19,0 %), 2011 (23,0 %)

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.
