Miss ✦ AI-generated prediction Published on 23. August 2026 · Predicted for 6. September 2026 · Based on: Statistical Pattern

Probability

62%

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.

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.
