·
Based on: Historical Cycle
The SPD polls at 7.4% ahead of the Saxony-Anhalt state election (September 6, 2026) according to politpro.eu (as of September 3, 2026). Even with a typical polling error of ±2–3 percentage points, the party is expected to remain above the 5% threshold. The 5.5% bar sits 1.9 points below the poll average — under a normal distribution N(7.4; 2²), the probability of >5.5% is approximately 83%. SPD candidate Armin Willingmann enjoys regional recognition. No Polymarket market for this specific result.

Verdict: Hit
Die SPD erzielte bei der Sachsen-Anhalt-Landtagswahl am 6. September 2026 laut wahlrecht.de 9,30% der Zweitstimmen — deutlich über der Sperrklausel von 5% und klar über dem Vorhersagewert von >5,5%. Die Partei gewann 8 Mandate. Die Vorhersage trat damit komfortabel ein; der tatsächliche Wert lag sogar knapp 2 Punkte über dem Umfragewert von 7,4%.

The SPD received exactly 18.4% in the 2023 Berlin state election and has since been in opposition. Current polls (August/September 2026) put the SPD at 19–22%, making a result above 18.0% likely. Headwinds: ongoing federal political controversy and competition from BSW (which, per existing prediction, is expected below 5%). The 18.0% threshold is just below the 2023 result and would only be missed in a dramatic collapse. No Polymarket market; Metaculus aggregate implies ~65% for SPD above 18%.

Both current Berlin polls place the FDP far below the 5% threshold: INSA (Sept 2–4, 2026): 3.0%; Infratest dimap (Aug 27–31, 2026): FDP below the statistical detectable threshold. The Berlin FDP has not reached the 5% mark in any poll since spring 2026. Clearing the hurdle would require a simultaneous systematic error of 2+ points from both institutes — historically near-unprecedented. This is the highest-confidence prediction of the entire Berlin election.

Current polls show Liberalerna well below the 4% threshold: Indikator Opinion (fieldwork to September 4, 2026): 2.2%; PolitPro election trend (as of September 9, 2026): 2.7%. Neither institute identifies meaningful upward momentum. The party was part of the Tidö coalition but suffered from its image problems. Even with maximum systematic polling error of +1.5 points, Liberalerna would remain below 4.2%. Failing to enter the Riksdag would cost the governing coalition its parliamentary majority.
