The current Secretary of State has 34-point-two-percent support, Republican Congressman John James is second with 29-point-two-percent, and independent former Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan is at 23-percent. If businessman Perry Johnson wins the GOP nomination, Benson leads him 34-percent to 26-percent, with Duggan’s support remaining at 23-percent.
