I think the best approximation is due to Heath-Brown (Quart. J. Math. Oxford Ser. 37, 27-38.)Heath-Brown: for infinitely many primes p$p$, one of 2$2$,3 $3$,5 $5$ is a primitive root mod p$p$.
Actually Heath-Brown's theorem, this result works forwith any three primes in place of 2,3$2$,5. You can find his paper online here$3$, (praise Google)$5$.
