Poll: Michigan voters split between El-Sayed and Rogers
Michigan voters have concerns about both candidates in the U.S. Senate race and that leads to a tight contest, according to a new poll.
Democrat Abdul El-Sayed has a slim 1-point edge against Republican Mike Rogers, 50-49%, among Michigan likely voters. The survey, released on Wednesday, is the first Poll this season among likely voters, so a direct comparison can’t be made to previous polls.
Yet among registered voters, the preference is almost identical, 51% El-Sayed vs. 48% Rogers. That’s a reversal since August, when Rogers was ahead by 4 points among registered voters, 51% to El-Sayed’s 47%.
POLL: VOTERS QUESTION WHETHER AI’S PROMISE OUTWEIGHS ITS RISKS
The analysis below is among likely voters, unless otherwise noted.
More of El-Sayed’s backers feel certain of their choice (87%) than Rogers’ (80%). Overall, 15% say they could switch their pick before voting, including 18% of Rogers’ supporters and 12% of El-Sayed’s.
POLL: SQUEEZED BY COSTS, FRUSTRATED VOTERS TURN TO THE DEMOCRATS
Here’s why the race is tight.
Roughly equal numbers of Michiganders say they are extremely concerned Rogers is too close to President Donald Trump (39%) as say El-Sayed’s views are too liberal (36%).
And their favorable ratings are also close: 47% view El-Sayed positively compared to 44% for Rogers. Among registered voters, positive views of El-Sayed increased by 5 points since August while Rogers’ declined by four points.
El-Sayed’s best groups include those who traditionally go Democratic: women, Black voters and those with a college degree. He’s also ahead with voters under age 45 and the small subgroup of union households.
The groups giving Rogers some of his strongest support include men, rural voters, White evangelical Christians, married voters and Whites without a college degree.
Both candidates receive near-universal backing from their party. Rogers receives 95% among Republicans, while it’s 93% for El-Sayed among Democrats. In addition, Rogers gets 99% of MAGA Republicans and 88% of non-MAGA Republicans, while El-Sayed garners 98% of DSA Democrats and 90% of non-DSA Democrats. The small number of independents narrowly favor El-Sayed.
This year’s political landscape favors El-Sayed. The Democrats hold a 5-point advantage when voters are asked which party they want to control the Senate, 52% to 47%. But to capitalize on that, he’ll need to consolidate Democratic support after a contentious primary because 11% of likely voters who backed his primary opponent Haley Stevens say they plan to vote for Rogers.

«The Michigan Senate race is unique in that short-term political forces favoring the Democrats are somewhat offset by concerns about the Democratic candidate,» says Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who conducts the Poll with Democrat Chris Anderson.
«The bad news for Rogers is El-Sayed has made progress shoring up Democratic support and has room to grow given voter concerns about the economy.»
Four in ten Michiganders say they are falling behind financially, and they back El-Sayed by 25 points. But the largest share, nearly half, describe their family as holding steady, and they favor Rogers by 13 points, while the small number who are getting ahead prefer Rogers by 36 points.
Still, for 7 in 10 voters, the cost of living will be extremely important to their Senate vote, and they back El-Sayed by 13 points. He also has advantages among the 4 in 10 focused on U.S. policy toward Israel (+8 points) and AI technology (+17 points). Conversely, Rogers is favored by 26 points among the 44% focused on immigration.
Half of Michigan voters consider Trump extremely important to their Senate vote, and they favor El-Sayed by 22 points.
In 2024, Trump won Michigan by less than two percentage points, while Rogers lost to Democrat Elissa Slotkin by less than half a point.
Voter frustration with the administration is a drag on Rogers, as nearly 6 in 10 disapprove of the president’s performance. While 40% approve, not all support Rogers (93%). He remains competitive with support from 19% of Trump disapprovers overall, even as 28% who only «somewhat» disapprove of Trump prefer El-Sayed.
In the gubernatorial race to replace term-limited Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Democrat Jocelyn Benson leads Republican John James 54% to 45% among likely voters.
Twelve percent of those backing Rogers in the Senate race cross-party lines to favor Benson.
Conducted September 24-28, 2026, under the joint direction of Beacon Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R), this Poll includes interviews with a sample of 1,203 Michigan registered voters randomly selected from a statewide voter file. Respondents spoke with live interviewers on landlines (114) and cellphones (794) or completed the survey online after receiving a text message (295). Results based on the registered voter sample have a margin of sampling error of ±2.5 percentage points and for the subsample of 1,028 likely voters it is ±3 percentage points.
Sampling error for results among subgroups is higher. In addition to sampling error, question wording and order can influence results. Sources for developing weight targets include the most recent American Community Survey, Voter Analysis and voter file data. Weights are generally applied to age, race, education and area variables to ensure the demographics of respondents are representative of the registered voter population. Likely voters are based on a probabilistic statistical model that relies on past vote history, interest in the current election, intention to vote, age, education, race, ethnicity and marital status. Results among subgroups are only shown when the sample size is at least N=100.

Cámara Salvadoreña de Turismo cierra su congreso con diez prioridades para orientar la agenda turística de 2027
El crecimiento de visitantes elevó las exigencias para hoteles, restaurantes, operadores y destinos de El Salvador. Con ese diagnóstico, la Cámara Salvadoreña de Turismo (CASATUR) cerró este martes su Congreso Anual de Turismo 2026, un espacio en el que empresarios y autoridades definieron 10 prioridades para trabajar el próximo año.
El encuentro reunió durante dos días a representantes de alojamiento, gastronomía, transporte turístico, agencias de viaje, tour operadores y guías, entre otros actores.
CASATUR abrió el debate para convertir el aumento de visitantes internacionales en mejores servicios, mayor articulación entre empresas.
La ministra de Turismo, Morena Valdez, destacó que uno de los principales desafíos consiste en mejorar la comunicación y la coordinación dentro de la cadena turística.
“Este congreso nos deja la gran lección de que nos tenemos que comunicar más todavía y sobre todo entre el sector privado”, afirmó al cierre de la actividad.
La funcionaria sostuvo que las empresas deben construir paquetes y rutas con mayor conexión entre territorios y negocios. “No solo verse como competencia, sino que conformar los destinos de manera más sólida”, señaló.
Como ejemplo, planteó que un hotel recomiende a operadores, restaurantes, sitios culturales y atractivos naturales para ampliar la estadía y el gasto de los visitantes.
Las diez propuestas apuntan a elevar el valor de la oferta turística
Las recomendaciones definidas durante el congreso buscan orientar el trabajo del sector privado y el diálogo con las instituciones públicas durante 2027.
El objetivo planteado por CASATUR es convertir el crecimiento de visitantes en desarrollo, competitividad y oportunidades para las empresas, los destinos y los colaboradores.
Las prioridades son las siguientes:
- Formar talento y capacidades para atender con excelencia.
- Elevar la calidad del servicio y ofrecer experiencias de primer nivel.
- Mejorar la diversificación de destinos en el territorio nacional.
- Promover al país y abrir nuevos mercados internacionales.
- Acercar a los empresarios a fuentes de financiamiento accesibles.
- Fortalecer la venta directa y el uso de inteligencia artificial (IA).
- Impulsar encadenamientos productivos entre empresarios.
- Mejorar la accesibilidad y la conectividad de los sitios turísticos.
- Mantener la limpieza y la sostenibilidad ambiental de los destinos.
- Coordinar decisiones entre los sectores público y privado, con participación activa de las pymes.
Valdez indicó que las propuestas deberán analizarse según las responsabilidades de cada sector.
“Vamos a estudiar las diez prioridades, que obviamente también se van a consolidar”, dijo. Según explicó, CASATUR trabajará en la consolidación del documento durante los últimos días de noviembre y prevé hacer la entrega formal el 1 de diciembre.
La ministra felicitó a la gremial por convocar a los distintos segmentos de la industria. “Es parte de un trabajo de consenso, de articulación”, afirmó.
También señaló que la coordinación requiere integrar a transporte turístico, alojamiento, alimentación, tour operación y guías, debido a que en algunos casos los actores de un mismo destino no mantienen vínculos de trabajo.
El sector busca preparar la oferta ante una mayor llegada de visitantes
El Ministerio de Turismo proyecta cerrar 2026 con 4.2 millones de visitantes internacionales y más de $3.600 millones en ingreso de divisas, según Valdez. Hasta octubre, la ministra indicó que el país había recibido 3,9 millones de visitantes.
La funcionaria ubicó a Guatemala, Estados Unidos y Honduras entre los principales mercados. También afirmó que el reto pasa por sostener ese crecimiento, captar nuevos viajeros y aumentar la oferta disponible fuera de los destinos más conocidos.
Valdez vinculó esa meta con la actualización del Plan Nacional de Turismo 2030-2040 y con políticas para desarrollar destinos especializados, entre ellos manglares, volcanes, cascadas, pueblos, ciudades, parques arqueológicos y áreas naturales protegidas. “La meta al 2030 son cinco millones de visitantes internacionales”, sostuvo.

The U.S. Air Force abruptly relocated more than a dozen aircraft from RAF Mildenhall in eastern England amid an emerging security threat, U.S. officials confirmed Tuesday.
The Wall Street Journal first reported the move, citing sources who said the threat originated in Iran.
As U.S. officials assessed the threat’s nature and urgency, commanders raised the base’s security level to Force Protection Condition Charlie, the military’s second-highest alert level, indicating a likely terrorist threat against personnel or facilities.

Flight-tracking data and open-source analysts with the Military Air Tracking Alliance identified 13 U.S. aircraft leaving the base late Monday, the Associated Press said.
Nine Boeing KC-135 Stratotankers were moved to airfields in Scotland, Germany and Spain.
Three CV-22B Ospreys were relocated to nearby RAF Lakenheath, which has hardened aircraft shelters.
A U.S. official told The Associated Press the moves were precautionary, noting that some aircraft were on rotational deployments while others were permanently stationed in the United Kingdom.

The move marks the second major relocation of U.S. military aircraft from Britain in less than two months.
In early October, the Air Force pulled heavy bombers from RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire after British counterterrorism police stopped three suspicious vans headed toward the base Sept. 27.
Two men have since been charged under the United Kingdom’s National Security Act.
Separately, the Justice Department unsealed indictments against three Iranian-backed operatives on Tuesday accused of involvement in coordinated terrorist plots across Europe, including RAF Fairford.

RAF Mildenhall is home to the 100th Air Refueling Wing, the only permanently based U.S. tanker wing in Europe.
Its KC-135 Stratotankers support allied aerial refueling and long-range strike missions across the region.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday that Washington routinely repositions military forces.
«We are constantly repositioning forces around the world for a variety of reasons,» Rubio told reporters when asked about the evacuation.
A 10 Downing Street spokesperson said British air bases remain secure and that London and Washington continuously share intelligence on potential threats.

Democrats accused of ‘No Kings’ hypocrisy over push to change voter-approved trans sports measures
Voters in two Democratic strongholds approved restrictions on transgender participation in girls’ sports last week, delivering rare Republican victories amid a blue wave. But Democratic officials are already discussing ways to change the measures, drawing accusations of hypocrisy from Republicans who point to their support for the «No Kings» movement.
Colorado Gov.-elect Philip Weiser, who also criticized a separate ballot measure restricting gender-related surgeries for minors, and Rep. Pramila Jayapal , D-Wash., both raised objections to the measures approved in their respective states.
At his first post-election news conference, he suggested Colorado’s Democratic-controlled legislature could revisit the voter-approved measures, saying that it is «statutory … and a natural and I believe appropriate role for the legislature to say ‘what are the adjustments that need to be added.»
PRO-TRANS ACTIVISTS HOLD RALLY AGAINST WASHINGTON STATE BALLOT INITIATIVE TO PROTECT GIRLS SPORTS
Colorado voters approved ballot measures increasing penalties for fentanyl-related offenses, restricting transgender athletes from competing in sports designated for the opposite biological sex and prohibiting gender-related surgeries for minors. The measures passed even as Democrats swept into power across the state.
«I don’t believe it would be acceptable to Colorado to have every student athlete to have to go through full-body examinations or other invasions of privacy,» Weiser added of the sports-related referendum, according to the Denver Post.
COLORADO MOM WHO SAID DAUGHTER WAS SECRETLY TRANSITIONED HELPS LEAD EFFORT TO BAN BOYS IN GIRLS’ SPORTS
Weiser did not respond to a request for comment.
Republicans in suburban Denver criticized the governor-elect, dubbing him «King Phil I» and characterizing his response as «know[ing] better than Colorado voters in a healthy democracy.»
«But before the ink on the ballots is even dry, Governor-elect Phil Weiser is already signaling that the vote of the people is merely a ‘suggestion’. With Coloradans approving ballot measures to crack down on fentanyl and protect youth sports and children, Weiser walked up to the podium on Wednesday and essentially declared that the will of the majority needs to pass his personal vibe check first,» the Adams County Republican Party said in a statement.
Republicans characterized Weiser’s position as «you voted for it, but I don’t like it…»
«No Kings,» the Adams Republicans added, invoking the protest movement that Weiser has supported through participation in «No Kings» protests. The movement’s demonstrations have criticized President Donald Trump over what organizers characterize as authoritarian conduct.
The Colorado House Republican caucus echoed the sentiment, adding in a statement: «If the Democrats truly believe there should be ‘No Kings’ in America, it is time they take their own advice.»
‘NO KINGS’ FOOT SOLDIERS IGNORE ORGANIZERS’ WARNING, GO ALL IN FOR DEMOCRATS
Meanwhile, in Washington State, Jayapal condemned a similar measure approved by voters.
Initiative 638 prohibits students defined as «biologically male» from competing in girls’ K-12 school sports and requires students seeking to participate on girls’ teams to provide verification of their biological sex from a health care provider. The measure passed with approximately 56% support in the reliably Democratic state.
Following the election results, multiple local news outlets reported that Jayapal pledged to «take our state back» after voters approved the initiative.
«We’re going to start planning for how we overturn these bad initiatives and how we go back to loving everyone with gender inclusivity the way we have for decades,» she said, according to several reports.
Jayapal did not respond to a request for comment.
Critics also pointed to Jayapal’s past support for «No Kings» protests, accusing her of contradicting her own rhetoric about respecting the will of voters.
One critic highlighted a November 2025 social media post in which Jayapal wrote: «We have democracy for a reason. America doesn’t belong to kings it belongs to the people and we’re going to keep it that way.»
«Rep. Jayapal, this you?» they asked.
Jayapal also faced previous criticism over her support for the «No Kings» movement after praising remarks by Britain’s King Charles III during his visit to the United States.
Washington Democratic Party Chair Shasti Conrad signaled support for a legal challenge, calling the ballot measure «unconstitutional on its face» and indicating the party would «support [for] organizations planning to challenge it in court.»
SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTER
Under Washington’s Constitution, lawmakers cannot repeal a voter-approved initiative during its first two years but can amend it with a two-thirds vote in each legislative chamber. After two years, the legislature can amend or repeal the measure with a simple majority.
The controversy leaves Democrats in both states confronting a similar political dilemma: whether to preserve the restrictions voters approved or pursue changes through the legislative and judicial processes available to them.
