Poll: El Sayed holds slight edge in Michigan Senate race, but struggles with older swing voters
The AARP survey found 5% of voters undecided in the Senate race and a sharp split between voters over 50 and younger voters.
- On Thursday, a new AARP poll revealed the Michigan Senate race between Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers remains essentially deadlocked at 48% to 47%, within the 3.3% margin of sampling error.
- Significant partisan age gaps define the contest, as Rogers leads El-Sayed 52% to 43% among voters aged 50-plus, while El-Sayed maintains a 16-point advantage with those aged 18-49.
- Older voters demonstrate higher enthusiasm, with 86% of those 50-plus rating their motivation to vote a 10-out-of-10, compared to 71% of voters under 50, according to AARP's Kate Bridges.
- The Senate race is "extremely close," said pollster Matt Hogan of Impact Strategies, noting that 14% of older swing voters could decide the outcome, as Rogers leads this group by 33 points.
- While voters prioritize the economy and cost of living, the gubernatorial race between Democrat Jocelyn Benson and Republican John James reflects similar age-based splits, with Republicans leading among older residents.
