Mike Duggan leads Benny Napoleon in Detroit race for mayor, poll finds

Coming off a surprisingly strong win in Detroit’s Aug. 6 primary, Mike Duggan still leads Benny Napoleon nearly 2-1 among voters with just six weeks left before one of them becomes the city’s next mayor, according to an exclusive Free Press/WXYZ-TV poll.

Duggan, the former chief of the Detroit Medical Center, was favored 49% to 25% for Wayne County sheriff Napoleon, the poll of 400 likely Detroit voters found. About 26% of respondents were undecided.

Duggan’s lead was outside the poll’s margin of error of 4.9 percentage points and nearly mirrors his showing in the city’s primary, when he captured 51% of the vote despite having been booted from the ballot over residency issues and running as a write-in candidate.

“We know that races tend to tighten up toward the end, so we’re going to keep working twice as hard to engage with residents in neighborhoods all across the city,” Duggan campaign manager Bryan Barnhill II said. “I think people appreciate Mike’s plan for the city and his approach. He lays out his plan, he engages in a dialogue and he incorporates good ideas into it.
