Moreover, El-Sayed is winning white voters, whereas Stevens\u2014despite being white herself\u2014trails with white voters but is absolutely dominant among black voters: She is +46 in that category.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Detroit News\/Glengariff poll | 7\/8-7\/11 LV<\/p>\n<p>US Senate Michigan Democratic primary 2026 (crosstabs, net)<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udfeaCollege: El-Sayed +7<br \/>\ud83d\udfe9No College: Stevens +22<br \/>\ud83d\udfeaWhite: El-Sayed +12<br \/>\ud83d\udfe9Black: Stevens +46<br \/>\ud83d\udfe9Already voted: Stevens +9<br \/>\ud83d\udfeaElection day voters: El-Sayed +18<br \/>\ud83d\udfe9Still holding on\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/XS4ZWlvAll pic.twitter.com\/UG8kVjcwFm<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Politics &amp; Poll Tracker \ud83d\udce1 (@PollTracker2024) July 14, 2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>What this means is that Michigan is experiencing the same dynamic as Maine, where ex-candidate Graham Platner had insisted that he was assembling a working class coalition in support of stridently progressive economic policy\u2014even though his general election opponent, incumbent Republican Sen.

Yet the ascendant socialist left fervently believes that theirs is a politics that speaks to the concerns, not of Democratic elites or the party establishment, but of rank-and-file voters who are struggling to get by and see left populism as the answer to their concerns about employment, healthcare, housing, education, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>What polling data seems to reveal, however, is precisely the opposite: It is well-educated\u2014though possibly downwardly mobile\u2014elites who are most drawn to progressivism and democratic socialism.
