None of the other candidates come close to either of them, with Carla Sands down at 11 percent, Jeff Bartos at ten percent, and Kathy Barnette at five percent.

With six percent saying another candidate and 25 percent saying they are unsure how to vote, the race has become a two-person race between McCormick and Oz. In fact, 79 percent of the respondents said they are “aware” of McCormick, while 89 percent said the same of Oz.

The former businessman crushes the celebrity doctor in a head-to-head battle. Fifty-six percent said they would vote for McCormick, while less than half, 26 percent said they would vote for Oz in the Republican Senate primary. There were 18 percent who said they were undecided.

When asked how the respondents felt about both Republican primary candidates, the two men received the same 32 percent favorability; however, only 17 percent saw McCormick unfavorably while 40 percent saw Oz unfavorably.
