Abdul El-Sayed leads Mike Rogers in Michigan's 2026 U.S. Senate race polls

In Michigan, Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed, a physician, leads Republican Mike Rogers, a former congressman, in the 2026 U.S. Senate race. Recent polls show El-Sayed ahead by 3 to 4 points, though his primary win was narrow. The race could determine Senate control. El-Sayed's progressive platform has drawn support from figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, while Rogers hopes to break Republicans' long losing streak in Michigan Senate races. The outcome remains uncertain as both campaigns focus on appealing to moderates in this battleground state.
