This is the night before the Detroit Mayoral primary and a
Survey USA poll has
Freman Hendrix maintaining a 10 point lead (42%) over incumbent Mayor
Kwame Kilpatrickwho is holding steady at 32%. Sharon McPhail and Hansen Clarks trail far behind at 13% and 8% respectively.
While Kilpatrick trails in the polls, an incumbent Mayor in Detroit always wields a hefty political machine. That combined with the help from the old Coleman Young organization and his mother, U.S. Rep. Karolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick will pull him neck and neck with Hendrix when the votes are counted. And considering the election is being run by the VERY old and VERY corrupt Jackie Currie, I'm sure the Mayor will be happy with the "surprise" result tomorrow night.
As for whether it's enough for November, that remains to be seen.
