Pollsters blew it in the lead-up to Michigan's hot primary

Pollsters failed to accurately predict the outcome of the Democratic primary in Michigan. Approximately one week before the election, Emerson College published a poll of likely voters regarding the U.S. Senate race. The data indicated that progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed held a significant lead over U.S. Rep. Haley Stevens, projecting a margin of 15 percentage points. This specific polling result proved to be incorrect as the primary progressed toward its final conclusion in Michigan.
