El-Sayed leads Rogers by 7 points in new Michigan Senate poll
The Hill ^ | August 19, 2026 | Finya Swai

Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed is leading Republican nominee Mike Rogers in Michigan’s closely watched open Senate race, according to a new poll, showing signs that the progressive candidate is consolidating support from Democrats after a bitter primary.

El-Sayed leads with 46 percent support to Rogers’s 39 percent among likely voters, according to a Susquehanna Polling & Research survey released Tuesday. Nine percent of voters were undecided while 4 percent favored another candidate in the battleground state, which President Trump flipped in 2024 by 1 percentage point.

The poll is an encouraging sign for El-Sayed, who emerged as his party’s nominee after narrowly defeating Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) in a primary that exposed deep divisions over the direction of the party.

RCP average has El-Sayed up by only 0.7%.

Yeah. Americans. Eligible voters want this.

No. I don’t think so.

No sale.

Yeah, in Dearborn, maybe.

The polls have been so ridiculously off in this election season. Best to ignore them completely.

“The Democrat Party is determined to destroy America.”

My impression is Democrats define themselves as “Not Republicans.” What they’re actually voting for doesn’t matter so long as it’s not Republican.

Susquehanna is an undependable poll. This is the usual Democrat game, played well before every election.

Immigration and anchor babies do amazing things. Thank your favorite RINO. RINOs are NOT the lesser evil. They ARE the evil.

If anyone believes that poll, or any other poll, based on the history of poll accuracy, is an idiot.

Just a few days ago there was a poll showing Rogers leading by four. Now he’s down by seven?? A drop of 11 points in a few days?? Does not compute.

Not “bizarro”...
The foreseeable outcome based on the successful invasions of this country by islamists and communists...

Plus the highly successful and unchallenged education outcomes in the Nation’s government schools since the 1970s that have their sole purpose as developing future obedient morons and communists...

The fact that he is ahead or even in any poll shows what a mess we are in. MSM buries anything that would hurt him.
