According to polling from Susquehanna released on Wednesday, El-Sayed is polling at 46% while Rogers is seven points behind at 39%. [snip] Other recent polling has shown a much closer race. A Fox News survey had Rogers leading El-Sayed at 51%-47%. Another poll from this month, conducted by TechnoMetrica (TIPP) conducted an online survey for the League of American Workers, had El-Sayed leading by three points (45%-42%).

Haley Stevens (D-MI) in his primary. His association with progressive and controversial streamer Hasan Piker and past comments have earned El-Sayed blowback from fellow Dems and given material to Republicans. Rogers, who has the backing of President Donald Trump, previously served in the House of Representatives 2001-2015. [snip] Candidates in Iowa, Maine, and Ohio all have positive net favorability ratings, while El-Sayed’s is underwater by 13 points, Enten said. “This is extremely unusual. Again, across the map. Democrats have done such a good job recruiting candidates who are well-liked by the voters,” Enten said. “Again, I looked at all the Fox News polls. All the Democrats were above water except for Abdul El-Sayed. And he is 13 points underwater. This is all about Abdul El-Sayed being a weak candidate, at least in the minds of the voters.” (*) Full article: https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/shock-poll-el-sayed-opens-up-7-point-lead-over-gop-rival-after-recent-data-showed-him-trailing/ Post navigation Progressives Really Struggling With the Idea the Right Got This Right Democrat Rep.
