Poll: Mike Rogers and Abdul El-Sayed Virtually Tied in Michigan Senate Race– www.breitbart.com

Michigan’s Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers and Democrat nominee Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed are virtually tied in the general election race, an AARP survey reveals.

The survey showed El-Sayed edging out Rogers by just one percentage point — 48 percent to Rogers’ 47 percent — in the general election race among all likely voters. However, Rogers has a comfortable lead among voters ages 50+, seeing 52 percent support to El-Sayed’s 43 percent support.

“When drilling down into older swing voters specifically — the segment of the Michigan electorate who are not straight-ticket Republican or Democratic voters — Rogers enjoys an even wider advantage, leading El-Sayed by 33 points,” the AARP poll revealed.

The survey also examined the state’s gubernatorial race, showing Democrat Jocelyn Benson with a wider lead against her Republican challenger, Republican Rep. John James (R-MI):

The picture is a little different in the Michigan gubernatorial race. Forty-nine percent of all likely voters would choose Democrat Jocelyn Benson, Michigan’s current Secretary of State, compared with the 44 percent who prefer Republican House Rep. John James. Among voters 50-plus, James pulls ahead of Benson, but only by one point. And in this race, older swing voters are in Benson’s camp, giving her a 28-point lead over James.
