Rep. Haley Stevens leads by nearly seven percentage points over Abdul El-Sayed in the Democratic Senate primary in Michigan, a key test between the party\u2019s establishment and progressive wings, according to a Detroit News\/WDIV-TV poll<\/a> released Tuesday.<\/p>

The poll, conducted last week, showed 48 percent of voters supporting Stevens compared with 41 percent for El-Sayed. Stevens had a particular lead with Black, non-college-educated and Detroit-area voters. El-Sayed had the advantage with college-educated and White voters, especially those who consider themselves democratic socialists.<\/p>\n

The poll was released one week after the two candidates partook in their first one-on-one debate. The candidates previously debated with state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, who dropped out of the race earlier this month. She has not endorsed either candidate.<\/p>\n

Stevens is a four-term congresswoman who flipped a competitive House seat in 2018. She has the backing of several major Democratic figures in Michigan, and more than $49 million in outside spending on her behalf, much of it from a group related to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.<\/p>

El-Sayed has the backing of the party\u2019s progressive wing and is deeply critical of Stevens\u2019s support for the U.S.-Israel relationship.<\/p>\n

The Michigan Senate race will be crucial for determining who controls the Senate next year.<\/p>\n
