Predicted for 6. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
Current polls (DAWUM, Wahlrecht.de, PolitPro.eu, as of August 2026): Greens at 4.6% – below the 5% threshold. BSW at 4.3% is also predicted to fail (open prediction). Both parties are in the same danger zone. The Greens are structurally weak in eastern Germany: Saxony 2024 = 4.6% (failed), Thuringia 2024 = 3.2% (failed). A late surge of ~0.4 percentage points is possible but unlikely given energy-price-driven voter sentiment in the region. No Polymarket market found for this event.
Data basis for this prediction
- DAWUM Sachsen-Anhalt August 2026: Grüne 4,6 %, BSW 4,3 %, FDP 2,9 % (dawum.de, 27.08.2026)
- PolitPro.eu Saxony-Anhalt 2026: AfD 42,1 %, CDU 23 %, Linke 13,1 %, SPD 6,5 %, Grüne 4,6 % (politpro.eu)
- Wahlrecht.de SA Umfragen August 2026: Grüne konsistent unter 5 % (wahlrecht.de)
- Historisch: Grüne scheiterten Sachsen 2024 (4,6 %) und Thüringen 2024 (3,2 %) an 5 %-Hürde
Verdict: Miss
Die Grünen haben die 5%-Sperrklausel klar überwunden und mit 8,93% der Zweitstimmen (8 Sitze) deutlich den Einzug in den Landtag geschafft – fast doppelt so viel wie die vorhergesagte Scheiterschwelle. Auch das BSW überwand die Hürde mit 5,27%. Die Prognosen aus dem August 2026 (4,6% für die Grünen) unterschätzten die tatsächliche Wahlmobilisierung massiv. Das Endergebnis laut wahlrecht.de und Wikipedia: AfD 43,79%, CDU 17,23%, SPD 9,30%, Grüne 8,93%, Linke 8,56%, BSW 5,27%, FDP 2,58% (gescheitert). Die Vorhersage war in allen wesentlichen Punkten falsch.

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.
