El-Sayed leads Stevens by 15 points in Michigan Senate primary: Poll

The Emerson College poll found El-Sayed at 54% and Stevens at 39% as outside groups spend heavily to sway the Democratic primary.

  • On Thursday, July 30, polling data showed progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed leading U.S. Representative Haley Stevens by 15 percentage points, 54% to 39%, ahead of the August 4 Democratic Senate primary.
  • El-Sayed's progressive platform has driven a clear age divide, with voters under 50 supporting him by 42 percentage points while Stevens maintains a 14-point lead among voters over 60.
  • Outside groups, including the AIPAC-affiliated United Democracy Project, have flooded Michigan with more than $50 million to support Stevens, prompting El-Sayed to argue this reliance undermines her electability.
  • Stevens has positioned herself as the only Democrat capable of defeating Republican Mike Rogers in November, while some mainstream Democrats have expressed concerns about El-Sayed's general election viability.
  • Voters will decide on August 4 which candidate faces Rogers, an outcome that could determine the Senate majority as Democrats aim to defend blue seats and flip four to retake control.
