A Michigan pollster accuses Mallory McMorrow’s Senate campaign of pressuring a state capitol news outlet to withhold a poll showing her trailing in a Democratic primary. The poll, which found McMorrow at 6% support compared to 42% for Abdul El-Sayed and 33% for Haley Stevens, was not published by Michigan Information & Research Service after the campaign raised methodological concerns. The campaign claims the poll contained errors and allowed unrestricted participation, while the pollster and news outlet suggest pressure influenced the decision not to release it.
