El-Sayed Scores Boost With Conservative Pollster As Trump Escalates Attacks

Summary

A new poll shows Democrat Abdul El-Sayed leading Republican Mike Rogers by 46% to 44% in Michigan’s Senate race with less than three weeks to go before the November 3 midterm election. President Donald Trump has intensified his personal attacks against El-Sayed during the final weeks of the campaign.

Key Facts

  • Abdul El-Sayed, the Democrat, leads Mike Rogers, the Republican, by 46% to 44% in a recent Michigan Senate poll.
  • The poll was conducted by Rasmussen Reports between October 12 and 14 with 798 likely voters.
  • The race is very close because the poll’s margin of error is 3 percentage points, meaning the lead is not certain.
  • President Trump mocked El-Sayed’s name during a rally in Georgia, saying he could call him whatever he wanted.
  • El-Sayed focuses his campaign on affordable living, reducing corporate influence, and expanding Medicare for All health coverage.
  • Rogers’ campaign centers on manufacturing, lowering drug and household costs, ending tariffs with Canada, and stopping the war with Iran.
  • Other candidates, including Libertarian Lydia Christensen and Green Party nominee Douglas P. Marsh, have minor support around 1-2%.
  • RealClearPolitics calls the race a toss-up, but El-Sayed is slightly ahead in polling averages and prediction markets.
