Recent polling has shown Abdul El-Sayed gaining ground in Michigan's August 4 Democratic primary for the open U.S. Senate seat, with a May Mitchell Research survey placing him at 28% support among likely voters compared to 18% for Haley Stevens and 17% for Mallory McMorrow. El-Sayed benefits from strong backing among younger voters and progressive activists, along with recent endorsements and policy proposals targeting prescription drug costs. McMorrow draws from older demographics and state legislative experience, while Stevens relies on her congressional record. A large share of voters remains undecided, and the three-way contest continues to shift with fundraising, endorsements, and campaign events ahead of the primary.
