Abstract

Helena Foulkes remains the leader in the race for the Democratic nomination for Rhode Island governor in 2026, but incumbent Dan McKee has narrowed the gap somewhat since April. Foulkes leads in a hypothetical general election matchup with a generic Republican nominee and Independent Ken Block, while McKee is tied with a Republican nominee and Block. Incumbent Democratic Senator Jack Reed continues to lead challenger Connor Burbridge in the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate. Only one-fifth of Rhode Islanders feel the state is headed in the right direction, slightly lower than in 2024.
