Overview
- An Emerson College survey released Thursday found Abdul El-Sayed and Mallory McMorrow at 24% each, with Haley Stevens at 13% and 36% of Democratic primary voters undecided.
- Data for Progress polling released Wednesday reported that 64% of likely Democratic voters are less likely to support a candidate who takes donations from AIPAC, the leading pro-Israel lobby.
- The same survey found strong anti-war views, with 87% saying they would be less likely to back a candidate who supports U.S. military action against Iran.
- After voters were told about criticism of influencer Hasan Piker, 40% approved of El-Sayed inviting him to campus rallies, 30% disapproved, and most said they did not know enough about him to judge.
- The Washington Free Beacon on Friday published 2025 video of El-Sayed discussing terrorism in terms of “root causes,” a disclosure highlighted by right-leaning outlets and likely to fuel new attacks from his rivals.
