El-Sayed’s lead widens to seven points in new Michigan poll
Marist survey gives Democrat his strongest result yet, though other polls show a tighter race
DETROIT (MNTV) — Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed has recorded his strongest polling result yet, leading Republican Mike Rogers 51 percent to 44 in a new Marist survey of 1,235 registered Michigan voters taken Sept. 24 to 27, with a 3.8-point margin of error.
The seven-point margin is his largest of the campaign, matching leads in earlier Susquehanna and Suffolk surveys and close to a New York Times/Siena result of 49 to 44, though a near-simultaneous Fox poll showed a one-point race — a reminder the contest remains competitive and that Marist surveyed registered rather than likely voters.
The Marist poll also found a favourable climate for Democrats, who led the generic congressional ballot 53 to 44, with more than four in 10 respondents saying their finances had worsened over the year.
El-Sayed has campaigned on Medicare for All, higher taxes on billionaire wealth and environmental protections; the seat, open after Democrat Gary Peters’s retirement, could prove central to control of a Senate that Republicans hold 53-47.
