A new poll conducted by Denno Noor Research of Lansing and reported by Freep.com shows that businessman David Bing and interim Mayor Kenneth Cockrel Jr. are the leading candidates in Detroit’s mayoral primary set for February 24th.
 
According to the poll which targeted 300 likely Detroit voters, Bing leads with 28 percent and Cockrel was a close second with 22 percent. Former deputy Mayor Freman Hendrix took third place with 13 percent of voter support. If this poll is any indicator of primary results, the other 12 candidates have a lot of catching up to do. The bottom 12 candidates polled at 4 percent or less, while 22 percent of respondents said they were undecided.

The poll’s margin of error was plus or minus 5.8 percentage points which means all three candidates — Bing, Cockrel and Hendrix — are running a tight race.
