Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
In current MV-specific polls (as of September 11, 2026: AfD 38%, SPD 33%, Linke 10%, CDU 7%, Greens 5%), BSW is not listed explicitly in any survey — a strong signal that the party is below the ~3% display threshold. BSW has been holding ~4–5% in federal polls but is structurally weak in MV: no regional organisation, no prominent local candidates, no current seat in Schwerin. MV is not a BSW stronghold. No Polymarket market available.
Data basis for this prediction
- Forsa/WiWo MV-Umfrage 11.09.2026: AfD 38 %, SPD 33 %, Linke 10 %, CDU 7 %, Grüne 5 % – BSW nicht gelistet (wiwo.de / wahlrecht.de)
- BSW national Sep 2026: ~4–5 % Bundesschnitt (Infratest dimap Bundestrend)
- MV-Wahlrecht: 5-%-Sperrklausel für Einzug in Schweriner Landtag gültig
Verdict: Hit
BSW erzielte bei der Landtagswahl Mecklenburg-Vorpommern am 20. September 2026 exakt 4,8 % und verfehlte damit die 5-%-Hürde um nur 0,2 Prozentpunkte – der Einzug in den Schweriner Landtag blieb aus. Die Vorhersage trat damit ein. Bestätigt u.a. durch Wikipedia (Landtagswahl in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern 2026), bpb.de und ZDFheute. Auch CDU scheiterte knapp (4,9 %). In den Landtag zogen ein: AfD (38,2 %), SPD (35,5 %), Linke (6,5 %) und Grüne (5,7 %).

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.
