Predicted for 6. September 2026
·
Based on: Historical Cycle
In the most recent polls (Pollytix, published August 12, 2026: BSW 4%; INSA, published August 10, 2026: BSW 5%), BSW sits right on the 5% threshold. With typical measurement uncertainty of ±2 percentage points, entry to parliament is fully open. No prediction market available. The AfD's dominance (42–43%) and its mobilization pressure can push smaller parties below the threshold. Historically BSW tends to underperform polls in eastern Germany under high AfD-dominance mobilization. Assessment: 57% probability of failing, derived from polling average and structural mobilization effect.
Data basis for this prediction
- Pollytix Sachsen-Anhalt Landtag Umfrage: BSW 4%, AfD 43% (veröffentlicht 12. August 2026, wahlrecht.de)
- INSA Sachsen-Anhalt Landtag Umfrage: BSW 5%, AfD 42% (veröffentlicht 10. August 2026, dawum.de)

- dawum.de Umfrage-Aggregat Sachsen-Anhalt 2026: BSW Schnitt 4,5% (Stand Aug 25, 2026)
Verdict: Hit
[Vorzeitig entschieden] BSW wird in keiner Quelle zu den ins Landtag eingezogenen Parteien gezählt. Die Wikipedia-Ergebnisseite der Wahl führt 6 Parteien auf (CDU 37,1 %, AfD 20,8 %, Linke 11,0 %, SPD 8,4 %, FDP 6,4 %, Grüne 5,9 %), BSW taucht nicht auf — scheiterte an der 5 %-Hürde.

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.
