Most Rhode Islanders Feel State Headed in Wrong Direction, Disapprove of Governor McKee's Job Performance 7/18/2024

Abstract

Rhode Island residents are pessimistic about the direction of the state and cite housing, infrastructure, the economy, and corrupt or incompetent government as Rhode Island's most important problems. Less than one-third of residents, including less than half of Democrats, approve of Daniel McKee's performance as governor. Despite voting on the topic several times roughly every decade for many years, a majority of Rhode Islanders do not have a firm understanding of the meaning of the constitutional convention question on the general election ballot in November. Most Rhode Islanders have used the Washington Bridge or detours since the westbound portion of the bridge was closed and most say the closure typically adds 10-44 minutes to their trips.
