Predicted for 6. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
In the 2021 Saxony-Anhalt election, CDU under Minister-President Reiner Haseloff won 37.1%. Since then, the AfD has surged massively and is forecast above 37% in 2026. Eastern Germany comparison: Saxony 2024 CDU 31.9%, Thuringia 2024 CDU 23.6%. Saxony-Anhalt is structurally more CDU-friendly than Thuringia and Haseloff's incumbency advantage is stabilising. The 30% threshold is plausible but not secure — a collapse to 25–29% following the Thuringian pattern is possible.
Data basis for this prediction
- SA-Wahl 2021: CDU 37,1 %, AfD 20,8 % (Landeswahlleiter Sachsen-Anhalt / tagesschau.de)
- Sachsen 2024: CDU 31,9 %; Thüringen 2024: CDU 23,6 % (Landeswahlleiter / tagesschau.de)
- Cassandra.news-Bestand: AfD SA 2026 >37 % prognostiziert (Stand 3. Sept 2026)
Verdict: Miss
Die CDU erzielte bei der Sachsen-Anhalt-Landtagswahl vom 6. September 2026 laut Wikipedia (Endergebnis) nur 17,2 % der Stimmen (Exit-Polls: 17,4 % laut Al Jazeera) – also deutlich unter der prognostizierten Schwelle von 30,0 %. Die AfD gewann mit ca. 43,8 % einen Erdrutschsieg. Die CDU verlor gegenüber 2021 (37,1 %) mehr als die Hälfte ihrer Wähler. Das ostdeutsche Thüringen-Muster (CDU-Einbruch auf ~23,6 %) wurde damit sogar noch weit unterschritten; der in der Vorhersage als stabilisierend angenommene Haseloff-Amtsinhaberbonus vermochte den massiven Rechtsruck nicht aufzuhalten.

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.
