Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib should not have much difficulty winning re-election next year in her district, Michigan’s 12th, according to a new poll.

Respondents to the poll, first reported by Jewish Insider, gave Tlaib 62% of their support, well above all other candidates in the upcoming Democratic primary. Westland Mayor William won 13% support, Lathrup Village Mayor Kelly Garrett won 6%, Detroit City Clerk Janice Winfrey won 4%, former state Rep. Phil Cavanagh won 3%, Livonia, Michigan Mayor Maureen Miller Brosnan won 2% and former state legislator Shanelle Jackson won zero percent. Ten percent of respondents said they were undecided or preferred someone else.

The survey polled 600 registered voters from January 18 to the 20 and had a margin of error of 4%.
