Will Linke win the second-most seats in the 2026 Berlin state elections?

The Berlin state election on September 20 features a tight race for second place, with recent July polls showing Die Linke, AfD, and CDU clustered between roughly 16% and 22% support amid a fragmented field that also includes the Greens and SPD. National momentum favoring the AfD and local dissatisfaction with the incumbent CDU-SPD coalition under Kai Wegner have boosted the AfD and Linke, while the CDU’s position as governing party creates volatility in second-place projections. Traders price the top three contenders closely because modest shifts in turnout, late campaign events, or regional voting patterns could reorder them without altering the overall five-party competitive dynamic.
