MI-SEN: Michigan Democratic Senate primary a toss-up after McMorrow departure: Survey

A new poll shows that the Michigan Democratic Senate race is a tight one after state Sen. Mallory McMorrow (D) dropped out on Sunday.

The Politico survey, conducted by Tavern Research on Monday and Tuesday, found that 42 percent of respondents would vote for moderate Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) and 41 percent would vote for former Wayne County Health Director Abdul El-Sayed.

Nearly 1 in 5 respondents were unsure of their choice, and the margin of error was 2.5 percentage points.

McMorrow, who sought to find a lane between the moderate Stevens and the progressive El-Sayed, ended her campaign amid low polling numbers. In announcing her departure from the race, the Michigan Senate majority whip did not endorse either of the remaining candidates.
