McCANN-MENTUM: Sean McCann Leads Bill Huizenga 48% to 45% in New Poll

Semafor: Democrat McCann pulls ahead in key House race

NOTABLY: The poll also found that Trump – who won MI-04 by 6 points – is underwater, with “nearly six in 10 disapprov[ing] of Trump’s job as president.”

McCANN-MENTUM: This new poll comes after Sean has continued to build momentum in the race to flip MI-04.

• Sean outraised Huizenga by nearly $400,000 in Q1 2026.
• House Republican leadership has funneled over $600,000 to Huizenga in an attempt to prop him up.
• Last month, Crystal Ball shifted MI-04 in Democrats’ direction to “Lean Republican,” noting that the race “has definitely become more competitive relative to Michigan as a whole” as Huizenga “has drawn a well-funded opponent, state Sen. Sean McCann.” Crystal Ball joins Inside Elections as the second race-rater to move the 4th district in Democrats’ direction.

• The Democrat running to unseat Rep. Bill Huizenga leads the Michigan Republican by three points, according to a new Democratic poll shared first with Semafor.

• McCann outraised Huizenga by almost $400,000 in the first quarter of 2026, bringing his total to more than $1 million. “From now until November, Sean is all gas, no brakes,” McCann’s campaign manager, Simone Archer-Krauss, told Semafor.
