Watch trends, not single polls. One consistency across all polls since August 19: @AbdulElSayed has led in every single solitary goddam one of them.
Two new Michigan polls One has El-Sayed slightly ahead, much smaller margin than Benson in gov’s race One has El-Sayed more substantially ahead, nearly same margin as Benson Good reminder not to get worked up over any one poll (Writing this partly to remind myself!)

I don't get paid to tweet, that's the last refuge of the idiots who have no argument. Don't be one of those people. You used to make fun of them.

You realize I was making the 2006 comparison almost 2 years ago now, right? That doesn't change the fact that picking that year poisons your data presentation intentionally.

This is top of the ballot data, because consistency is important when we're doing this type of work.

The reason you started in 2006 was Data manipulation to pretend your argument had any weight to it. I don't feel embarrassed. I'm not the one trying to manipulate data by cherry picking a start year. Here are the four cycles prior:

"hi, yes, I would like to LARP as a fake elections expert on Twitter without getting any criticism for it, I am not a crackpot." Look, you made crap up that was easily disprovable. That's not my fault.

You really should apologize for that though

What are we doing? I mean the base data. What are we doing? House elections? So counties with multiple candidates get aggravated together and the result is supposedly independent of both of their candidacies? Use SOS or Board of Ed data if you're not using the top of the ballot. And talking about the shift in the upper peninsula from the '90s without bringing up abortion is political malpractice. We went hard for reproductive freedom which was the vector for the conservatives to consolidate religious moderates into a coalition that already almost fully contained small business people. That doesn't make Rahm Emmanuel better, but what you said above here dana, is slop.

Duh
My take: Of ~240k Detroit votes in 2024, Trump got about 20k and Rogers about 18k. Doubling Rogers’ city total still wouldn’t offset the hole Trump created for Rogers in the suburbs and outstate. Michigan Republicans are focusing on Detroit so they can blame vote counting in Detroit when they lose.

There's zero good reason for you to want to litigate this now instead of nine days from now. It's just sloppy and dumb. Be smarter and more disciplined.

That doesn't say anything about the policy, which is the same in both campaigns.

Their racism keeps getting dumber somehow. Great work, Roop

Why do you think his healthcare policy is more popular now than it was when Mayor Pete was running with it in 2020?

Stop pretending dark money doesn't exist, please.
Factoring in independent expenditures and super PACs (post-primary FEC data through Oct 25), outside spending has benefited Rogers by ~$138M vs ~$75M for El-Sayed. Adding principal committee outlays (~$19M Rogers, ~$51M El-Sayed) yields totals of roughly $158M aiding Rogers and $126M aiding El-Sayed.
