Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
INSA survey (Nordkurier, August 2026): Die Linke MV at 11%. The 9% threshold is 2pp below the current poll. At the 2021 MV election Die Linke received 9.9% — the historical base supports the 9% hurdle as non-trivial. The possible red-red-green coalition option (SPD + Linke + Grüne = 45% per INSA) gives Die Linke voters a tactical mobilization incentive. Risks: BSW polls at 4% in MV (below the 5% threshold, so its votes are lost), which could attract tactical Linke voters; conversely, BSW's failure strengthens Die Linke as the left alternative. No MV-specific Polymarket markets.
Data basis for this prediction
- INSA/Nordkurier Umfrage MV (4.–11.08.2026): Die Linke 11 %, BSW 4 % (Stand 13.08.2026)
- LTW Mecklenburg-Vorpommern 2021: Die Linke 9,9 % (Landeswahlleiter MV, historisch)
- t-online.de: 'Rot-Rot-Grün (SPD+Linke+Grüne = 45 %) zunehmend realistisch' (August 2026)

Verdict: Miss
Die Linke erzielte laut dem vorläufigen amtlichen Ergebnis des Landeswahlleiters MV vom 20./21. September 2026 nur 6,5 % der Stimmen – deutlich unter der prognostizierten Schwelle von 9,0 %. Das entspricht einem Rückgang von rund 3,4 Prozentpunkten gegenüber dem Ergebnis 2021 (9,9 %). Die Vorhersage lag damit um ca. 2,5 Prozentpunkte zu hoch. Als Hauptursache ist der starke AfD-Anstieg auf 38,2 % und SPD auf 35,5 % zu sehen, die das Feld dominierten; linke Wähler wurden offenbar nicht ausreichend mobilisiert. Die INSA-Umfrage (11 %) überschätzte die Linke erheblich. Quellen: Landeswahlleiter MV (via strelitzius.com, 21.09.2026), Wikipedia 'Landtagswahl in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern 2026', wahlrecht.de.

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.
