Poll shows Abdul El-Sayed leading Rep. Haley Stevens by 15 points in Michigan Democratic Senate primary

Abdul El-Sayed leads Rep. Haley Stevens by 15 points ahead of next week’s Democratic primary for Michigan’s open U.S. Senate seat, according to a poll released Thursday by Emerson College Polling in partnership with WLNS and WOODTV.

The Emerson College Polling/WLNS/WOODTV survey found 54% of likely Democratic primary voters supporting El-Sayed, while 39% said they would back Stevens. Another 6% reported being undecided, according to the poll.

El-Sayed, a progressive physician and activist who is running for the seat, is seeking the Democratic nomination in a contest that pairs him against Stevens, a congresswoman representing Michigan and a long-time figure in the Democratic Party’s federal delegation.

Because Michigan’s Senate seat is open, the winner of the Democratic primary is positioned to advance to the general election for the seat, making the nomination contest a key stage in determining which candidate will represent the party in November.

The poll’s topline figures suggest El-Sayed has a double-digit advantage among likely Democratic primary voters. As with any single survey, the result reflects the preferences of the sampled respondents at the time the poll was conducted rather than a guaranteed outcome on election day.

The Democratic primary is scheduled for next week, putting the contest in its final stretch as candidates and party-aligned groups prepare for closing arguments and last-minute outreach. The undecided share reported in the poll indicates there remains a smaller pool of voters who could potentially affect the margin depending on turnout.

The Emerson College Polling/WLNS/WOODTV survey is one data point among several that often circulate during election cycles, and subsequent polling and real-world voting results will be the main measures of whether the polling gap holds through Election Day.

Why It Matters

  • The poll indicates a double-digit shift in the Democratic primary electorate, which can influence campaign messaging and late-stage voter outreach ahead of next week’s vote.
  • Because Michigan’s Senate seat is open, the Democratic nominee will be the party’s choice to compete in the general election, making the primary outcome consequential for party representation in the Senate.
  • The remaining undecided share in the poll suggests the margin could narrow or widen depending on turnout and persuasion late in the campaign.
  • As additional surveys and on-the-ground results emerge, the primary’s polling snapshot can help frame how competitive the race appears immediately before voting begins.
