Abstract
Rhode Islanders are about evenly split on the recent sinking of suspected drug trafficking boats off the Venezuelan coast but clearly oppose attempting to remove Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro from power. More than six in ten Rhode Island residents disapprove of President Trump's handling of the economy, with those who disapprove of his economic choices most often citing tariffs and the prices of goods as the reasons why they feel that way. Nearly half of Rhode Islanders support the deal to end the recent federal shutdown but two-thirds of Democrats are opposed. A majority support extending Obamacare premium subsidies, a key Democratic demand during the shutdown, and nearly all believe federal workers who were furloughed or remained on the job during the shutdown should receive backpay.
