New polling data from Pollsmax is giving Republicans in Michigan and across the United States some good news as it looks likely that GOP candidate Mike Rogers is going to flip a Senate seat red and defeat Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed. El-Sayed is currently the favorite to win the Democratic Party nomination and move forward to the general election in November.
However, out of a total of nine polls, El-Sayed has only led in two of them when it comes down to a race with Rogers. Data from the poll has Rogers with 43% support and El-Sayed with 42.3%. In a recent interview on NewsNation, longtime Democratic strategist James Carville expressed that he still believes that El-Sayed can defeat Rogers, if he can manage to win the Democratic Party nomination.
When NewsNation host Chris Stirewalt asked him if he believed El-Sayed could win in a red-tinged state, Carville replied, “Well, sure he can, but he has to be the nominee first, and it seems to me that Stevens and Sen. McMorrow are going to have to get together, and they’re just cutting into each other’s vote — and I think, you know, it should be a two-way choice in Michigan.”
“But you know, I don’t know if we’re going to get there,” he continued. For those unfamiliar with El-Sayed, who is currently competing against Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) and state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, also a Democrat, he is a physician and a fiery hard-left activist. During his campaign, El-Sayed has heavily leaned into a message focused on universal healthcare and economic populism.
According to a report from NewsNation, El-Sayed has also received a critical endorsement from the United Auto Workers union. Rogers has also locked down an important endorsement: President Donald Trump’s. The president referred to the former House Republican as an “America First Patriot.” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social, “From the U.S. Army to Congress, Mike has served our Nation with distinction, and will bring that same Fighting Spirit to the U.S. Senate.”
“As your next Senator, Mike will work tirelessly to Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Unleash American Energy DOMINANCE by keeping the price of Gasoline, Oil, and all forms of Energy VERY LOW (CHEAP!), Help Secure our now VERY Secure (Record Setting!) Southern Border, Support our Incredible Military/Veterans, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment,” he continued.
While many conservatives in the comment section of an X post discussing the poll were optimistic and celebratory, more than a few remained skeptical due to concerns Democrats might resort to cheating in order to defeat Rogers and Republicans across the country. “The hard work of winning bigger than the level of Democrat cheating is just beginning,” one user said.

Another individual wrote, “Not enough margin to stop the cheat.” One person was more positive, saying, “Good. No more foreign invaders in our government.” User OHIO Against The World wrote, “That is until Jocelyn Benson allows 50,000 dead people to vote and counts 100,000 duplicate votes in Detroit….. Just Michigan being Michigan.”
