RI-GOV: Raimondo, Fung in tight race again
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) – Democratic Gov. Gina Raimondo is clinging to a slim re-election lead over her nearest Republican challenger, as barely one in three voters say they approve of the job she’s doing, an exclusive WPRI 12/Roger Williams University poll released Monday shows.
The survey of 419 registered Rhode Island voters finds Raimondo at 38% and Republican Allan Fung at 36%, with 17% of voters undecided. An additional 6% of voters are supporting Republican-turned-independent Joe Trillo. Raimondo’s lead is within the margin of error.
The poll results are strikingly similar to the final results of the 2014 gubernatorial election, which pitted the same two candidates against each other: Raimondo came out on top that year with 41% of the vote, ahead of Fung at 36%. The late Bob Healey, running as the Moderate Party nominee, took 21%.
