Predicted for 20. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
Forsa (24 August 2026) measures the FDP in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern at 3% – 200 basis points below the threshold. Infratest dimap (9 July 2026) also shows the FDP clearly below the bar. The FDP has not been in the Schwerin parliament since 2011 and has failed to clear 5% in any MV election since then. The structural loss of liberal voters in eastern Germany to AfD and BSW leaves no trend reversal in sight. No dedicated prediction market available; historical evidence and current polling support a probability >85%.
Data basis for this prediction
- Forsa MV-Landtagswahl-Umfrage: FDP 3% (24. August 2026, t-online.de)
- Infratest dimap MV: FDP unter 5% (9. Juli 2026)
- MV Landtagswahl 2021 Ergebnis: FDP 2,0%, nicht im Landtag (Landeswahlleiter MV)
Verdict: Hit
Die Vorhersage ist vollständig eingetreten. Die FDP erhielt bei der Landtagswahl Mecklenburg-Vorpommern am 20. September 2026 lediglich 1,0 % der gültigen Zweitstimmen und scheiterte damit deutlich an der 5%-Sperrklausel. Sie verlor alle 5 Sitze aus der Wahl 2021 und ist nicht im neuen Landtag vertreten. Das endgültige amtliche Ergebnis wurde am 30. September 2026 vom Landeswahlleiter Dr. Christian Boden bestätigt.

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.
