U.S. Senate Democratic hopeful Haley Stevens holds a nearly 7-percentage-point lead over rival Abdul El-Sayed in a new statewide poll of Democratic primary voters, with about 10% of respondents saying they remain undecided three weeks out from the Aug. 4 election.

Stevens received 48% of support compared with 41% for El-Sayed, according to the Detroit News/WDIV-TV (Channel 4) poll of 500 likely Michigan Democratic primary voters conducted last week after their first one-on-one televised debate.

About 0.2% of voters surveyed volunteered that they chose state Sen. Mallory McMorrow of Royal Oak, who dropped out of the race on July 5.

    Her performance was dogshit. She contradicted herself so quickly that the moderators had to double check what she meant and gestured vaguely while Abdul talked about specifics and actual policy. The only policy Stevens has specifics on are related to Israel. Surely the boost isn’t because of the transparent Netanyahu scapegoat that liberals are spinning up… It probably is.
