Foulkes Holds Lead as McKee Faces Challenges | Providence News

Helena Foulkes holds a commanding lead in the Democratic governor’s race, with 42% support to McKee’s 22%, despite a tightening gap and 31% still undecided. McKee’s favorability among Democrats is a mere 18%, while 77% of all Rhode Islanders disapprove of his job performance — a major obstacle. On the Republican side, Elaine Pelino leads at 38%, but 37% remain undecided, complicating predictions. With early voting starting August 20 and the primary on September 9, Foulkes looks stronger against a generic GOP opponent than McKee would — and independent Ken Block could loom large if McKee wins the nomination.
