Here's yet another data point working against the notion that far-left, democratic socialism–friendly candidates are successfully courting the working class: Abdul El-Sayed, the most progressive candidate in the Democratic Senate primary for Michigan, is doing better with college-educated voters than non-college-educated voters.
This information comes courtesy of Detroit News polling, which puts El-Sayed at +7 with college-educated Michiganders who are likely to participate in the upcoming Democratic primary. His primary opponent, Rep. Haley Stevens (D–Mich.), is up 22 points with likely non-college-educated voters. Moreover, El-Sayed is winning white voters, whereas Stevens—despite being white herself—trails with white voters but is absolutely dominant among black voters: She is +46 in that category.
