Latest read on the Michigan Senate race, naming Tim Long#
No finding was published for the Michigan Senate race, naming Tim Long on Oct 21, 2026. This is the most recent one, from Sep 7, 2026, and it may name candidates or lenses that have changed since.
Chatbots picked Mike Rogers about as often as Abdul El-Sayed for Michigan's U.S. Senate race, putting Rogers at 49 percent and El-Sayed at 44 percent. That is a very different picture from the betting markets, which give El-Sayed a 65.5 percent chance to win against Rogers at 34.5 percent. Recent polls split the difference, putting El-Sayed at 48 percent of the vote and Rogers at 41.7 percent. This gap between the chatbots and the markets has shown up before this week, and today it is narrowing slightly as the AI panel's number for El-Sayed slipped a bit. Libertarian Lydia Christensen and U.S. Taxpayers candidate Tim Long remain far back in every measure.
