CNN’s Harry Enten Says Michigan Voters Not Impressed with Abdul Mohamed El Sayed: “He is a weak candidate” (Video)

According to a new poll, CNN’s Harry Enten says Michigan voters HATE far-left Democratic U.S. Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed. El-Sayed will face off against Republican Mike Rogers.

El Sayed has been dodging scandal after scandal. The Gateway Pundit reported that El-Sayed mass deleted YouTube videos of him demanding a ban on guns and 4th of July fireworks.

“Fireworks suck,” El-Sayed said in a since-deleted YouTube video.

He also called for the Second Amendment to be replaced.

Last week, the White House shared a video compilation of some of his most radical stances, showing his Communist campaign for exactly what it is, despite his attempts to distance himself from the Democratic Socialists of America.

As seen in the clip, El-Sayed has called for defunding the police, equating it to “disinvesting in the means of incarcerating someone or killing them on the streets.”

He’s also called for term limits on Supreme Court justices, giving each President three appointments to the high court, and expanding the court.

He wants wealth taxes to “disincentivize the accumulation of wealth.” He wants to abolish ICE and open the border, give illegals drivers’ licenses and welfare, and, of course, impeach Trump.

Enten shared, “Michigan Senate Rogers versus El Sayed. Look at this, a new Fox News poll. Rogers is actually up by 4 points. He’s up by 4 points. It’s close, but a Republican is ahead in Michigan. And why? Why? What is going on?”

“Look among independents. Rogers actually leads by 5. This is extremely unusual because across the political map, as I was looking at these different Fox News polls, I couldn’t find another example where the Republican was actually leading among independents.”

“And it turns out that candidate quality may in fact matter, at least in terms of how voters see it, because in this same poll, the Democratic candidate for governor was ahead. So this is unique to the Senate race, and it is quite a troubling result for Democrats and quite a heartening one for Republicans.”

He was asked, “So do you have a sense then, Harry, of what it is that is contributing to this— the struggles, right, that Abdul El-Sayed is— is it that Rodgers is a stronger candidate, or is it that El-Sayed has more issues for voters to deal with?”

Enten responded, “It is all about Abdul El-Sayed. He is a weak candidate, at least by the metrics that we normally look at.”

“And you can just take a look here, okay, the net favorability rating of the Dem Senate candidates across these northern battlegrounds. You’ll notice there’s only one candidate in red, one who has an unfavorable rating higher than his favorable rating, and it is significantly higher.”

“Look how far underwater Abdul El-Sayed is. He is 13 points underwater, under there, Lake Michigan. My goodness gracious. Troy Jackson in Maine, he’s at +1. You got Sherrod Brown at +4 in Ohio, and Josh Turek in Iowa, way above there at +18 points. This is extremely unusual. Again, across the map, Democrats have done such a good job recruiting candidates who are well-liked by the voters. Again, I looked at all the Fox News polls. All the Democrats were above water except for Abdul El-Sayed, and he is 13 points underwater.”

“This is all about Abdul El-Sayed being a weak candidate, at least in the minds of the voters.”

He continued, “So you look at this first slide, right? You see that Mike Rogers is ahead. Right by 4 points. Well, I was interested because I couldn’t think of another example where you actually had a Democratic candidate who was down at least 4 points, 4 points in a Senate poll in Michigan.”

“And it turns out for this entire century, Abdul El-Sayed is the only one in a poll that meets CNN standards for publication. This is extremely, extremely, extremely unusual.”

“Abdul El-Sayed breaking records in the ways that you don’t want to.”

“In fact, he is the first Democrat down by this much, as I said, essentially since 1994.”

Watch:

🚨 WOW! CNN is stunned that Michigan voters HATE Abdulrahman Mohamed El Sayed, Trump-endorsed Mike Rogers is LEADING

“He’s the first [Michigan] Democrat down this much this CENTURY.”

“He is a weak candidate…look how far underwater he is! -13 points!” 🤯
