Predicted for 6. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
In the 2021 Saxony-Anhalt state election, the CDU received 37.1%, the AfD 20.8%. The open platform forecast puts the AfD above 40% in 2026, implying significant vote realignment. Analogously, in Saxony 2024 the CDU still received 31.9% despite high AfD strength. Saxony-Anhalt is considered the AfD's strongest state, but the CDU benefits from a popular minister-president. National CDU/CSU polling at ~25–30%. Main risk: if the AfD exceeds 42% drawing heavily from CDU voters, the 25% threshold could be missed. Own estimate: 62%.
Data basis for this prediction
- Landeswahlleiter Sachsen-Anhalt: Endgültiges Ergebnis Landtagswahl 2021 – CDU 37,1 %, AfD 20,8 % (06.06.2021)
- Sachsenwahl-Analogie: CDU 31,9 %, AfD 30,6 % (Sächsischer Landeswahlleiter, 01.09.2024)
- Offene Plattform-Prognose: AfD Sachsen-Anhalt 2026 >40 % (intern, Stand 23.08.2026)
Verdict: Miss
Die CDU erhielt bei der Sachsen-Anhalt Landtagswahl am 6. September 2026 laut Nachwahlprognosen nur etwa 17–18 % der Stimmen – deutlich unter der Schwelle von 25 %. Die AfD gewann mit ca. 44 % klar. Das Hauptrisiko der Vorhersage trat damit in verschärfter Form ein: Der Stimmenfluss aus dem CDU-Lager zur AfD war massiver als erwartet, was zu einem historisch schwachen CDU-Ergebnis führte.

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.
