Assessment
A new poll shows the Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan trailing his Republican opponent, suggesting that his far-left and anti-Israel platform may be faltering with voters. Prominent Jewish Democratic bundlers are now fundraising for his opponent, signaling significant intraparty concern about his electability. The race will test whether a candidate with this ideological profile can win a competitive general election.
