Detroit, MI, October 27, 2026 —
A recent poll commissioned by WDIV/Detroit News indicates Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed is leading Republican candidate Mike Rogers in the race for Michigan’s U.S. Senate seat. El-Sayed received 51.4% support in the poll, compared with 45.1% for Rogers.
The figures put El-Sayed 6.3 percentage points ahead of Rogers, based on the reported support levels. The results offer a measure of where the contest stands in this poll, but do not establish the outcome of the race.
The information provided does not include when the poll was conducted, how many people were surveyed, how respondents were selected or whether the figures reflect registered voters, likely voters or another group. It also does not state the margin of error, the share of respondents supporting other candidates, or the number who were undecided. Those details are not available in the summary, so the reported percentages should be read without that additional context.
The poll was commissioned by WDIV/Detroit News, according to the information provided. No further details about the poll’s methodology or the organizations that conducted it were included. The figures reflect the reported responses in that poll and do not, on their own, indicate how support may change or what voters will decide.
For now, the central finding reported is the gap between the candidates: El-Sayed at 51.4% and Rogers at 45.1%. The information available does not provide a poll date or other survey details that would allow a fuller assessment of the results.
