| Description | DETROIT - Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick slightly trailed former Deputy Mayor Freman Hendrix in a new poll that also showed 57 percent of those questioned had an unfavorable impression of the incumbent.
Detroit's nonpartisan mayoral primary is Aug. 2. The top two candidates face off in the Nov. 8 general election.
Kilpatrick, 34, was elected mayor in 2001. He has been struggling with a budget deficit and questions about his personal conduct.
Asked whom they favor for mayor, 33 percent of those polled said Hendrix, 24 percent Kilpatrick, 22 percent City Councilwoman Sharon McPhail, 4 percent state Sen. Hansen Clarke and 3 percent another candidate. Fourteen percent were undecided.
In a two-way race, 57 percent said they supported or leaned toward Hendrix, who served as deputy under former Mayor Dennis Archer. Kilpatrick got 30 percent, with 13 percent undecided.
