Looks like we didn't make it again, partly as a continuation of yesterday's issues and partly due to a loss of electrical power due to a freak accident that can't be fixed until Monday. However Monday is (V)'s day, and all is well in the land of windmills and tulips, so there will definitely be a posting Monday.

Today's Senate Polls

Maybe the Democrats are getting unified in Michigan and coming together behind Abdul El-Sayed, despite misgivings some people have about him.

State	Democrat	D %	Republican	R %	Start	End	Pollster
Michigan	Abdul El-Sayed	47%	Mike Rogers	43%	Aug 22	Aug 28	EPIC-MRA

Here is the polling for the Michigan Senate race all year.

State	Abdul El-Sayed	Mike Rogers	Start	End	Pollster
MI	47%	43%	Aug 22	Aug 28	EPIC-MRA
MI	46%	39%	Aug 11	Aug 17	Susquehanna
MI	48%	47%	Aug 09	Aug 11	Fabrizio + Anzalone
MI	47%	51%	Aug 08	Aug 10	Beacon + Shaw
Democratic primary was Aug. 4.
MI	43%	46%	Jul 24	Jul 31	EPIC-MRA
MI	39%	49%	Jul 22	Jul 24	Glengariff Group
MI	40%	45%	Apr 28	May 01	Glengariff Group
MI	43%	43%	Jan 24	Jan 25	Emerson Coll.
MI	43%	43%	Jan 02	Jan 06	Glengariff Group

A quick visual inspection at least hints at the possibility that things have gotten better for El-Sayed since the primary. All the polls above (even the pre-primary ones) were head-to-head El-Sayed vs. Rogers. If you like your information in graphical form, here are the poll graphs for all the states, including Michigan.

As an aside, in Arabic, "El-Sayed" means "the leader" or "the chief." (V)
