MI-SEN: New poll shows dead heat in Michigan Democratic Senate race as voters lean left of party establishment

A new poll of likely Democratic primary voters in Michigan shows the race for U.S. Senate remains wide open, with Abdul El-Sayed, Mallory McMorrow, and Haley Stevens effectively tied and a large share of voters still undecided.

The Data for Progress survey found Stevens at 23% and El-Sayed and McMorrow at 22%, while 33% of likely Democratic primary voters said they were undecided. The poll surveyed 515 likely Democratic primary voters in Michigan from April 2-8 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

The results suggest the Democratic primary is still very much up for grabs less than four months before the Aug. 4 election. The poll also offers a clearer look at the coalition El-Sayed is trying to build, made up of Democratic voters who are largely progressive and especially skeptical of pro-Israel political influence and military escalation in the Middle East.

That could be good news for El-Sayed, a progressive former Wayne County health director who has made opposition to Israel’s war in Gaza and criticism of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) a central part of his campaign.
