IMP says poll has Lawrence ahead in Michigan 14th Congressional race

  A poll obtained by Inside Michigan Politics says Southfield Mayor Brenda Lawrence is the leader in the Democratic primary in the 14th Congressional District to replace U.S. Rep. Gary Peters.
  Here's what the poll by Lake Research had to say:
 

"The poll indicates that the battle to replace U.S. Rep. Gary Peters (D-Bloomfield Twp.) is a two-person race. The MI-14 covers eastern Detroit, as well as Oakland County cities including Pontiac, Southfield and Farmington Hills.
"Lawrence took 35% of the vote in a four-way matchup and Clarke had 27%. Rep. Rudy Hobbs (D-Southfield) placed third in the poll with 6%. Burgess Foster, who has run Detroit City Council and the state House, was last with 0%. That leaves one-third of the electorate -- 32% -- undecided."

  Peters is giving up the House seat to run for U.S. Senate against Republican Terri Lynn Land.
  The Democrat-leaning 14th District is an S-shaped district starting in Pontiac in and ending in Detroit.
