Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
Latest INSA poll for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (August 4–11, 2026, 1,000 respondents): FDP 3% – well below the 5% threshold. The FDP has not been represented in the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state parliament since 2011 (2021 result: 2.4%). Nationally, the FDP has struggled chronically in eastern Germany since the coalition collapse (late 2024) and loss of Bundestag seats (2025). A +2 pp recovery in four weeks without a clear mobilisation trigger is statistically unrealistic. Very high forecast confidence; residual uncertainty buffer for unexpected late polling swings and election-day turnout.

Verdict: Hit
Die FDP erzielte bei der Landtagswahl Mecklenburg-Vorpommern am 20. September 2026 lediglich 1,0 % der Stimmen – weit unter der 5%-Sperrklausel. Das endgültige Ergebnis wurde vom Landeswahlleiter Dr. Christian Boden am 30. September 2026 bestätigt. Die Vorhersage trat klar ein; tatsächlich blieb die FDP sogar noch deutlich unter dem in der Umfrage gemessenen Wert von 3 %.

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.
