How we calculate the PolitPro Election Trend

The PolitPro Election Trend transcends a mere snapshot. We aggregate data from all relevant polling institutes into a weighted average for Berlin's Parliamentary election. While classic voting intention polls (“Which party would you vote for if the election were held next Sunday?”) fluctuate due to methodological reasons, our Election Trend offers a statistically robust data foundation. It smooths short-term outliers and reveals genuine political dynamics over time.

By combining multiple data sources, we minimize the risk of random effects. Every survey carries a statistical margin of error (typically between 1.5% and 3%). Our Berlin poll check precisely indicates whether a party's gain signals a lasting development or merely falls within the statistical uncertainty of a single institute.

The calculation adheres to a transparent mathematical model: recent polls carry greater weight than older data. Each institute's historical forecasting accuracy also informs the calculation to offset methodological bias. The result is a valid trend line that precisely maps Berlin's party system.

How does the PolitPro Analysis work?

Election polls are not predictions, but snapshots with statistical fluctuations. To obtain a realistic picture, we daily simulate 100,000 election outcomes based on the PolitPro Election Trend using the 'Monte Carlo method'. In doing so, we include typical voter migration and political trends. Our algorithm tests various scenarios – from small shifts within camps to political surprises – to determine the actual chances of success for parties and coalitions.

Projected composition of parliament

Based on the Election Trend, 5 parties are projected to enter Berlin's parliament: Die Linke with 30 seats, CDU with 29 seats, AfD with 26 seats, Grüne with 25 seats and SPD with 20 seats.
