A new statewide poll of registered Republicans shows that if the 1986 U.S. Senate primary were held today, baseball Commissioner Peter V.

According to sources in several of the Senate campaigns, Ueberroth was the first choice of 15% of 314 Republicans interviewed in late April and early May by the California Poll, directed by Mervin Field of San Francisco.
