2026 Michigan Governor And Senate Polling Thread

[Matt]

Not looking good for El-Sayed, unfortunately.

Agreed.

One of the biggest reasons I didn’t support him in the primaries is it is going to be hard to convince folks in northern Michigan to vote for him. While I personally don’t care about him being Muslim, I really believe it’s going to be an issue. The GOP and its supporting PAC’s are already running a smear campaign against him - and it’s going to get worse between now and Election Day.

Abdul El Sayed overperformed up north in the primary. What I see here is a lot of worry over nothing. Epic MRA is a solid pollster. He has a 70% chance of winning. If every poll had him down 3-5% then I’d be worried.

Just wait until the economic collapse. Republicans are going to have to battle in places like South Carolina.

Your collapse had better come in a hurry. States are starting to mail ballots out now. That means they will be returned and baked in should the shit hit the fan on say Halloween. It also means only 1 job report left before the election.

It's kind of fucked up to be hoping for an economic collapse, yes?

Sometimes you need some lousy circumstances to be of help I guess.

For whatever it’s worth Trump is at 65% disapprove and 33% approve in Michigan in the Detroit News poll so he’s way underwater here. That should translate into at least an ok Abdul lead but here we are.

Interesting. Notice the ONLY statewide Dem not leading? The same one that anyone with eyes could tell would have challenges?

Savit is the other progressive and he isn’t really standing out either.

MAGATS and/or Republicans rarely vote until the day of the election. Most of us vote early. Been that way since 2020.

That’s really not quite true. Even in rural areas you have elderly folks who cant get the polls easily. Trump is making a tactical error thinking only Democrats use early or absentee voting.

You’re delusional if you think this will be the thing that breaks enough Republicans away. Nothing will shake them.

"It's the economy, stupid." And remember that if they stay home, that's good enough in a lot of tight races.

The orange pedo is saying he's going to pay us $5,000 if Republicans win. The people who voted for him three times will believe that.

That's a right wing poll, too. Encouraging!
