El-Sayed leads Rogers by 7 points in new Michigan Senate poll
The 800-voter survey shows El-Sayed ahead among independents, while Rogers is banking on Jewish voters and anti-Israel concerns to narrow the race.
- Rabbi Asher Lopatin, director of community relations at the Jewish Federation of Greater Ann Arbor, announced he will cross party lines to support Republican Mike Rogers over Democrat Abdul El-Sayed. Lopatin cited El-Sayed's positions on Israel and ties to political streamer Hasan Piker as reasons for his decision.
- Democrat Abdul El-Sayed faces criticism for his anti-Israel rhetoric, including calling the nation a "rogue state," and his campaign association with political streamer Hasan Piker. Critics argue El-Sayed has failed to sufficiently distance himself from Piker's past antisemitic comments.
- Recent polling conducted August 11-17 shows Democrat Abdul El-Sayed leading Republican Mike Rogers 46%-39% among likely voters. An AARP Michigan poll indicates a razor-thin 48%-47% advantage for El-Sayed among voters 50 and older, with 5% undecided.
- Republican Mike Rogers launched a "Democrats for Mike Rogers" coalition on Thursday to court voters uncomfortable with El-Sayed. Michigan Jewish leaders recently circulated an open letter urging their community to back Rogers to prevent far-left dominance within the Democratic Party.
- Although Jewish voters make up roughly 1.4 percent of Michigan's electorate, the race's razor-thin margins mean small voting shifts could prove decisive. With the general election less than three months away, both parties are fighting for every vote in this swing state.
