Democrat candidate for U.S. Senate in Michigan Abdul El-Sayed speaks to supporters during a rally. This comes after polling from last week showed El-Sayed dominating Stevens in the race. An Emerson College Polling/WLNS/WOODTV survey released two days after the Democratic Party primary debate showed El-Sayed handily defeating Stevens 54% to 39%. A survey conducted by the Glengariff Group on behalf of Business Leaders for Michigan and the Michigan Education Association, released last week, showed El-Sayed trailing Stevens by roughly 4%. A different poll from 270toWin showed El-Sayed leading Stevens 37.4% to 35.8%.
