With just days left until the Aug. 3 primary, the Republican race for governor is a three-way contest between Ann Arbor businessman Rick Snyder, Attorney General Mike
Cox and U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra.

In the poll by Lansing-based EPIC-MRA released Thursday, 26% of likely Republican primary voters backed Snyder, while 24% supported Cox and 23% preferred Hoekstra. Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard is backed by 10%, state Sen. Tom George by 1%, and 14% are undecided.

The telephone poll of 400 likely Republican voters statewide was conducted Monday and Tuesday for the Detroit Free Press and TV stations WXYZ, WJRT, WOOD and WILX.
