Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
Current poll average for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (aggregated August 2026): BSW at 4.1% — below the 5% threshold. One individual survey (Civey, June 2026) showed 8.0%, indicating high variance. BSW has no established state chapter in MV and weak local infrastructure. Nationally BSW polls at ~5–6%, but in MV, where SPD and AfD dominate, mobilization potential is significantly lower than in Thuringia or Brandenburg (BSW there 15.8% resp. 13.5% in 2024). The 'BSW fails 5%' scenario is most probable, but uncertain.
Data basis for this prediction
- MV Wahlumfragen Aggregat August 2026: BSW Ø 4,1% (politpro.eu / Wahlkreisprognose, mehrere Institute)
- Civey Einzelumfrage MV Juni 2026: BSW 8,0% (Hochausschlag, Civey)
- BSW Thüringen September 2024: 15,8%; BSW Brandenburg September 2024: 13,5% (Landeswahlleiter)
- Offene Vorhersagen MV: AfD >30%, SPD >25%, SPD-Koalition ohne AfD (Cassandra.news)
Verdict: Hit
BSW erzielte bei der Landtagswahl in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern am 20. September 2026 laut Wikipedia und ZDF-Ergebnissen 4,8% der Zweitstimmen und verfehlte damit knapp die 5%-Sperrklausel – der Einzug in den Landtag gelang nicht. Die Vorhersage (Scheitern an der Sperrklausel) trat ein. Bemerkenswerterweise scheiterte auch die CDU mit 4,9% – ein historisches Novum.

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.
