Former NDP leader Andrea Horwath has a comfortable lead in Hamilton's mayoral race, a Mainstreet poll suggests. Keanin Loomis, a former CEO of the city's board of trade, is about eight points behind Horwath. The poll shows Horwath's support is younger and more urban, while Loomis's is older, suburban and higher-income, Mainstreet analyst Robert Martin said. Well behind is Bob Bratina, a former Hamilton mayor and Liberal MP, who is now 78. "I think they'd much rather have her do that than basically be in opposition for years."
