Rogers holds double-digit lead over El-Sayed, tied with Stevens in Michigan Senate poll
The Hill ^ | 7/28/26 | Caroline Vakil

Presumptive Republican nominee, former Rep. Mike Rogers (Mich.), comfortably leads progressive Abdul El-Sayed and is neck-in-neck with Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) in new polling just one week out from the Michigan Senate primary.

A Michigan Education survey, which was conducted by The Glengariff Group and commissioned for Michigan Education Association and Business Leaders for Michigan, shows Rogers beating El-Sayed by 10 points in a hypothetical matchup. Eleven precent of respondents were undecided.

Stevens barely edges out Rogers in a head-to-head, with the congresswoman receiving close to 46 percent and the Michigan Republican notching 45 percent support. A separate 9 percent were undecided.

Given the polling falls within the survey’s margin of error of plus or minus 4 points, Stevens and Rogers are essentially tied in the hypothetical Senate race.

The nonpartisan election handicapper Cook Political Report rates the open Michigan Senate race as a “toss up,” and Republicans are looking to flip the seat left open by retiring Sen. Gary Peters (D)

This will send Democrats into fits!

El Sayad is doomed and Stevens is a total loon.

The Michigan Senate seat will likely soon move to "lean Republican"

Let’s go Al-sayad. He’d make a great face for the Democrats running for congress.

The matchup vs. Stevens is at least somewhat realistic (a tossup but should be a slight D lean at best) but the Rogers vs. Muzzie results is a *major* outlier.

Dems are in a bit of a panic about their lunatic candidates not faring well outside of places where voters are total idiots (i.e. overwhelming Democrat districts like AOC’s, or states like Vermont or Massachusetts or...).

Desperation and panic caused them to replace the outright Nazi in Maine (Platner) with his identical twin brother (Jackson); Michigan Democrats are desperately trying to boost the “establishment” congresswoman (Stevens) over the radical “doctor” (El-Sayed).

Stevens is every bit the ultra-liberal that the Mussie is. She is fraudulently portrayed as more moderate, and the polling reflects that.

These pollsters are probably a solid (D) outfit, conducting a push poll for the express purpose of harming the radical and pushing (D) primary voters to support the (LOL) “moderate”.

Yes, Stevens is a lunatic. No, this is not and never will be a “lean Republican” matchup. This is Michigan we’re talking about.

No problem, he’ll catch up when he runs his campaign ad showing him wearing his suicide vest. Nothing says “fighting the machine” to Dhimmicrats more than jihad.

El Sayad has to be nipped in the bud(primary). He’s too dangerous. A fall campaign will give him more exposure. He’s good with the wordsmith stuff to our detriment. Would the Ann Arbor muslims show up for her?

Of course they will. She’ll further their destructive agenda, just at a slower pace. And of course she’ll pander to them big time to “unify” the party. After all she’s a Dhimmicrat.

“this dem commissioned poll is nonsense.”

It is nonsense, and a ridiculous outlier vis. the Rogers-El Sayed matchup.

The poll’s purpose is totally transparent but serves to panic (D) voters into stampeding towards the electable candidate (Stevens) as opposed to the one who supposedly is not (el-Sayed).

Michigan Republicans should swarm the (D) primary and vote for the worst possible candidates, as Rats so often do when meddling in GOP primaries.

Particularly in the highly vulnerable 7th District (U.S. House) in Michigan, where 3 Democrats — including lunatic William Lawrence — are running to take on freshman Republican Tom Barrett. The other 2 Democrat candidates in CD-7 are, like Stevens in the Senate race, 100% as liberal as the known radical nutbucket, so (R) voters need to flock to the polls to help Lawrence as much as possible.

Well, no matter who the Democrats nominate, they'd vote hard left in the Senate anyway. I do tend to think Stevens is more electable because she won't alienate as many working class Dems as would El Sayed.

But I'm only next door to Michigan in Ohio, and maybe some Michiganders have a more informed opinion.

I heard Clay, on the Clay and Buck show, say that the best thing that could happen is for this clown Abdul to win the primary because Rogers will destroy him in the election in Nov.

The Pile...Stevens makes Kamala look sane...but checks all the boxes for the major donors.

If it's El Sayad, Wayne county probably turns off the Wayne County voter fraud machine come November.

Too bad Rogers is such a weak candidate.

Pennsylvania is to Michigan as Iowa is to Wisconsin.

Check their voter registration. The Republicans have overtaken the Democrats.

Islamic El-Sayed is a US public health administrator who ran
for governor in 2018......and is a dedicated “humanitarian”......chuckle.

El-Sayed: “I didn’t set out to be a politician; I trained as a doctor,
but saw how broken US politics was making people sick.”

“Our healthcare system itself is part of the problem. We need Medicare for All.”

U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) endorsed El-Sayed.

The Dems will gear up Detroit Mystery ballots to rig it for the most electable candidate.

That article with accompaying “poll” looked like an DC HQ democrap party planted poll by The Shill. I may have my numbers wrong, but I saw polls that the Karen candidate they are pushing is like 6-7 points behind terrorist watchlist candidate. Once again I cant tell whats going on, but your description seems spot on.
