Thesis

EHIQ reads El-Sayed a modest underdog (~42%), not the market's ~65% favorite. The freshest poll has him down 7, he trailed badly in Detroit in his 2018 run (down 67-21 there), and a roughly 12-to-1 outside-spending wave is landing for Haley Stevens in the closing weeks. The market looks anchored to a stale post-dropout high.

August 13, 2026

El-Sayed WON the 2026 Michigan Democratic Senate primary on 2026-08-04, 48.5% to Haley Stevens' 47.5%, a 1-point margin. Outcome is YES. EHIQ had 42%, below even, so this is a MISS. NOTE FOR THE RECORD: the market had 65% and was right, so this is a call where the market beat EHIQ on a priced question.
