A Fox News poll finds Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed and Republican Mike Rogers evenly matched in Michigan’s Senate race, which the article says has tightened after earlier polls gave Rogers a slight lead.
The article reports that a recent Fox News poll found likely Michigan voters evenly divided between El-Sayed and Rogers. It says earlier polls had shown Rogers slightly ahead and describes the race for the seat of retiring Sen. Gary Peters as competitive. The article also notes that El-Sayed narrowly won the Democratic primary over Rep. Haley Stevens.
It says prediction-market pricing showed slightly less confidence in a Democratic victory and suggests that turnout, party unity, debates, fundraising, endorsements, and the national political climate could affect the race.
