Pell Center survey puts Foulkes ahead in Rhode Island’s three-way governor contest
A new poll of likely voters gives Democrat Helena Foulkes 39% support, ahead of independent Ken Block at 28% and Republican Aaron Guckian at 17%. The survey also finds the lieutenant governor’s race nearly even and Kim Ahern leading the attorney general contest.
Democrat Helena Foulkes leads independent Ken Block by 11 percentage points in the Rhode Island governor’s race, according to a new poll from Salve Regina University’s Pell Center.
