A new independent poll of likely Republican primary voters released Tuesday finds Attorney General Mike Cox, U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra and Ann Arbor businessman Rick Snyder in a three-way tie for the lead, with Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard well back and state Sen. Tom George out of contention.

Bouchard’s campaign manager responded to the poll conducted by Mitchell Research & Communications of East Lansing by firing off a memo to supporters in which he claimed the campaign’s most recent internal poll showed Bouchard and Hoekstra tied for the lead.

Cox, Hoekstra and Snyder garnered 18% each in the Mitchell poll, with Bouchard at 9% and George at 1%. Thirty-four percent were undecided in the poll of 895 GOP voters conducted July 1-6. The poll’s margin of error was 3.25 percentage points.
