Predicted for 6. September 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
The FDP is polling at approximately 3% in Saxony-Anhalt (wahlrecht.de, dawum.de, as of August 2026) — far below the 5% threshold. Structurally weak in eastern German states since the 2025 federal election collapse, the party has no regional mobilisation base. wahlrecht.de no longer tracks the FDP separately in SA. Entry to parliament is practically ruled out; implied probability from polling data exceeds 88%.
Data basis for this prediction
- wahlrecht.de: SA-Umfragen August 2026 – FDP ~3 %, nicht mehr separat ausgewiesen
- dawum.de: SA Wahlumfragen, Stand August 2026
- bpb.de: Hintergrund Sachsen-Anhalt-Wahl 2026, Parteienanalyse
- Yahoo Nachrichten DE: 'Wahlumfrage sieht AfD in Sachsen-Anhalt vorn', August 2026
Verdict: Hit
[Vorzeitig entschieden] FDP erhielt 2,4–2,5 % und scheiterte klar an der 5%-Sperrklausel. Quelle: ZDF-Hochrechnung, wahlrecht.de

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.
