Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
Reference data: CDU MV 2021 = 13.3%; CDU Brandenburg 2024 = 12.1% — benchmarks for comparable eastern German states. Countervailing forces: AfD gains (open platform prediction AfD MV > 34%) compress CDU voter reservoir; conversely, the CDU federal government (Merz) supports the party brand. BSW and Greens are predicted to fail the 5% threshold, potentially redirecting centrist votes toward the CDU. A range of 11–16% appears realistic; the 12.0% threshold is estimated to be crossed with ~62% probability based on eastern benchmarks. No CDU threshold for MV exists in the open prediction list — no duplicate.
Data basis for this prediction
- MV Landtagswahl 2021: CDU 13,3 % (Landeswahlleiter Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, amtliches Endergebnis)
- Brandenburg Landtagswahl September 2024: CDU 12,1 % (Landeswahlleiter Brandenburg, amtliches Endergebnis)
- Offene MV-Prognosen Cassandra DB (14.09.2026): AfD > 34 %, SPD > 22 %, BSW < 5 %, Grünen < 5 %, Linke > 8 % – kein CDU-Schwellenwert erfasst
Verdict: Miss
Die CDU erzielte bei der Landtagswahl Mecklenburg-Vorpommern am 20. September 2026 lediglich 4,9 % der Stimmen – weit unter der Vorhersageschwelle von 12,0 % und sogar unter der 5-%-Hürde. Damit zog die CDU erstmals in der Geschichte der Bundesrepublik nicht in ein Landesparlament ein. Das Ergebnis ist ein historisches Desaster. Gewonnen hat die AfD mit 38,2 %, gefolgt von der SPD mit 35,5 %, der Linken mit 6,5 % und den Grünen mit 5,7 %. Die Vorhersage unterschätzte den AfD-Zuwachs massiv und übersah, dass der AfD-Zulauf nicht nur das CDU-Reservoir komprimierte, sondern ihn beinahe vollständig absorbierte.

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.
