Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
Current polls show the FDP in MV well below the 5% threshold: Dawum aggregate (5 surveys, as of September 11, 2026): 1.6%; INSA (September 8, 2026): 3%; Infratest dimap (fieldwork August 26–31, 2026): below 3%. No prediction market covers this outcome. For context: the FDP entered the Landtag at 5.8% in 2021 but failed with 3.0% in 2016. Nationally, the FDP has suffered persistently low approval since the 2024 coalition collapse — chronically below 5% in eastern German states. The MV 2026 electoral landscape is dominated by AfD (~36%), SPD (~32%), and Die Linke (~11%), leaving the FDP with negligible voter potential.

Verdict: Hit
Die Vorhersage ist vollständig eingetreten. Laut vorläufigem amtlichem Endergebnis der Landtagswahl Mecklenburg-Vorpommern vom 20. September 2026 erzielte die FDP nur 1,0 % der Zweitstimmen – weit unterhalb der 5-%-Sperrklausel und sogar noch deutlich unter den Umfragewerten (Dawum: 1,6 %; INSA: 3 %). Die FDP zog damit nicht in den Schweriner Landtag ein. Auch die CDU (4,9 %) verpasste den Einzug; ins Parlament zogen AfD (38,2 %), SPD (35,5 %), Linke (6,5 %) und Grüne (5,7 %) ein.

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.
