Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
The CDU polls at a stable 9–10% for the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state election (infratest dimap, INSA, August 2026). The 8.5% threshold is roughly 0.5–1.5 pp below current poll levels. Historical deviations between the final poll and the result in German state elections average under 2 pp; a CDU result below 8.5% would require an unusual collapse. Per polls, CDU ranks 3rd–4th behind AfD (>33%) and SPD (>28%), but is clearly set to enter the Landtag. No Polymarket market for this specific data point.

Verdict: Miss
Die CDU erzielte bei der Landtagswahl Mecklenburg-Vorpommern am 20. September 2026 lediglich 4,9 % der Stimmen – deutlich unter der Vorhersageschwelle von 8,5 %. Damit verfehlte die CDU erstmals in ihrer Geschichte den Einzug in ein deutsches Landesparlament überhaupt (knapp ~1.100 Stimmen unter der 5-%-Hürde). Dieser Einbruch von 13,3 % (2021) auf 4,9 % war historisch außergewöhnlich und weit jenseits der angenommenen durchschnittlichen Umfrage-Abweichung von unter 2 pp. Quellen: Landeswahlleiter MV (laiv-mv.de), Landtag MV (landtag-mv.de), bpb.de, Wikipedia.

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.
