Among likely voters Democrat nominee Abdul El-Sayed leads his Republican opponent Mike Rogers by a 46%-39% margin, or 7 points; 9% are undecided and 4% prefer another candidate.
• Despite public media reports that El-Sayed is facing a divided Democratic electorate after a bruising and closely contested August 4th primary, he leads Rogers 91%-0% with self-identified Democrats and leads Rogers 46%-24% with Independents and unaffiliated voters. [Rogers leads
El-Sayed 90%-2% with Republicans.] Another strong indication the Democrat base has quickly rallied around El-Sayed is that he not only leads Rogers 92%-0% with Democrats who identify with the progressive wing of the Democrat party (which make up 47% of all Democrats sampled), but El-Sayed also leads Rogers handily among Democrats who do not (89%-0%).
==============================
It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Mr. Rogers is losing.
