Michigan: El-Sayed Polling Weaker than Other Statewide Democrats
Breitbart ^ | September 17, 2026 | Hannah Knudsen

Democrat Senate candidate Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed is polling weaker than other statewide Democrats in Michigan, recent surveys revealed.

An Emerson College poll looked at the races and showed Michigan likely voters choosing El-Sayed over Republican candidate Mike Rogers by two percentage points – 48 percent to Rogers’ 46 percent.

However, the results for the governor’s race are far more decisive in favor of the Democrat candidate, Jocelyn Benson, who sees 49 percent support. Republican John James sees 42 percent support — a seven percent gap.

Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, noted the “substantial educational divide in the Senate race,” specifically pointing out that voters without a college degree give Rogers a three-point edge, while those with a college degree favor El-Sayed by nine points.

Notably, El-Sayed’s two-point lead is within the poll’s +/- 3 margin of error. The poll was taken September 12-14, 2026, among 1,000 likely voters.

A Washington Post/Shar School survey told a similar story of El-Sayed trailing statewide Democrats in his race against Rogers. That survey also showed El-Sayed leading Rogers by three percentage points – 48 percent to the Republican’s 45 percent support. Once again, Benson outperforms Republican opponent James far better than El-Sayed performs against Rogers. Benson sees 53 percent support, which is 12 percentage points higher than James’s 41 percent support.

The surveys come on the heels of Rogers calling on Muslim El-Sayed to return the money he has received from terrorist organizations including the Council on American-Islamic Relationships (CAIR) and the Muslim Brotherhood. A press release from Rogers revealed that El-Sayed has taken “nearly $130,000 from donors with identified connections to CAIR.”

Muslim taking money from Islam proxy? Of course. Any amount needed to advance the purpose. Political jihad. MoFo in American politics? Not good for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Good for death, slavery and the pursuit of the infidel. It’s in the Muslim Manifesto and Satanic Verses..

Chris Pappas, the Democrat US Senate Candidate in NH is reportedly suspending his TV ad spends.

The rumor is that there are scandals about to come out.

Which means Sununu has a chance to flip that seat.

NH is in play and if NH flips, the Dems have little chance of flipping the Senate.

We shall see if anything comes from the rumors.

If we flip MI and NH, it won't matter if we lose NC plus one more state (OH, etc).

They'll retake the House but they'll waste their time attempting to impeach Trump and his cabinet.

Which will work in our favor going into 2028.

I think many black voters will be enthusiastic about the highly qualified black man John James running for governor and then may reject el-Sayed while breaking with the traditional Dem only stance. el-Sayed takes black support for granted.

Just my personal anecdote based opinion but I see a lot of Arab and black people leading separate lives and dining at separate places around Southeast Michigan. Maybe el-Sayed will have to strain to earn black support, not just tell black people to get back into line with him.

That the Jew-hating, capitalism-hating, America-hating moslem is polling above 1% is troublesome.

He’ll be fine. Afterall,

1. Dems want as many muhammedans in Congress as possible.

2. Another FReeper posted today that Skamala will campaign for him.

Skamala Harris, that great politician, world traveler, and noted luminary can’t lose, right?

I’m sure the fishing guides dressed him up like llbeen. Prancing Rothschild. Authenticity is not his strong point.

Every day I pray that someone will uncover some Dirt on this fascist that sticks. But so far nothing seems to move the needle. He’s like Teflon.

Rogers needs to fire up the oppo research machine fast. There must be an ex girlfriend, boyfriend or sheep somewhere.
