Mayor Mike Duggan has a large lead over his biggest challenger, state Sen. Coleman Young.
Duggan led Young 55 percent to 23 percent in a recent poll of Detroiters who said they plan to vote in the Aug. 8 primary, according to a survey by Lansing-based Target Insyght.
Another 19 percent said they were undecided while 2 percent supported youth mentor Edward D. Dean and 1 percent backed Donna Marie Pitts.
Support for Duggan tracks with Detroit voters’ perceptions of whether the city government has increased money, staffing and time in their neighborhood, said Target Insyght pollster Ed Sarpolus. About 53 percent of respondents said the city had spent more money, time, manpower or other resources in their neighborhood.
