But just over one in five said they were undecided in the survey carried out from July 31 to August 5.
Mark Littlewood, director of Popular Conservatism, said: "It is clear that those who responded to our survey either favour Badenoch, Jenrick, or Patel, but with a significant number still undecided, everything is to play for.
"It is imperative that Conservative MPs offer the membership a proper choice in the last two candidates from whom the members will choose."
The poll found 86% want the Tories to commit to cutting ties with the ECHR.
An overwhelming 90% either strongly agree or agree that the Conservative Party needs to become more democratic with a greater role for members in choosing the leader, policies and candidates.

And just over four in five said the Conservatives should focus on securing the votes of the four million people who backed Nigel Farage's insurgent party at last month's general election.
Mr Littlewood added: "What is also clear is that Conservative Party members want a return to popular conservative policies. They want root and branch reform of the party's structures to make it more democratic and they want the wider Conservative family to unite to avoid a future defeat similar to the defeat at the last general election.
"Whoever becomes leader of the party will have to address those concerns - concerns which we hear from members every day. If they do, the party will have a route back into Government."
