“This race, to me, is worthy of being a national story,” said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center. “The fact that you have a Republican as the favorite right now is mindboggling, and it speaks to what’s going on in the country.”
Here’s a breakdown of how each Democrat fares against Fung:
Fung 44.9 percent, Magaziner 38.5 percent
Fung 43.2 percent, Morgenthau 34.5 percent
Fung 44.6 percent, Segal 34.5 percent
Fung 44.6 percent, Fox 34 percent
Fung 44.2 percent, Bah 33.8 percent
Fung 45.8 percent, Moquin 32.1 percent
The cellphone and landline poll was conducted June 19 to June 22 by Suffolk, and the margin of error among general election voters in the 2nd District was plus or minus 4.8 percentage points.
Fung, a two-time Republican nominee for governor, is considered a heavy favorite in his Sept. 13 primary matchup with former state representative Robert Lancia.
Paleologos said Magaziner, who has twice been elected statewide, is best-positioned to run a competitive race against Fung, but he suggested that the treasurer can’t rely on the Democratic national agenda to carry him across the finish line. In the 2nd District, only 34 percent of voters said they approve of the job President Joe Biden is doing, and 71 percent said they don’t think he should run for reelection.
“I don’t think you’ll see Magaziner inviting President Biden to Rhode Island,” Paleologos said.
Magaziner’s campaign quickly released a statement declaring the treasurer “the strongest Democrat to take on Allan Fung in November.”
“Nothing would be more disastrous for Rhode Island than if Allan Fung wins in November and helps the right-wing extremists take control of Congress,” Magaziner spokeswoman Patricia Socarras said. “Magaziner will fight to defend the right to choose, protect Americans from gun violence

iirc, Trump was in the lead all night in RI and VA until the mail-in ballot dumps.
Pray that Fung is the real deal and not another RINO. What is his stand on the recent Dodd’s decision?
Never happen!
Yup. If anyone needs any more convincing, which political party holds the top 3 posts in Va.
And after Roe V Wade. It seems significant. RI maaaaajor dem.
By the way, Cook has RI 2nd at D+4. This ought to be very doable. By October, I want to see D+12 districts in question.
Keep grinding.
His lead may be outside of the margin of error, but I doubt it’s outside of the Democrat margin of fraud.
I believe this is the same poll as discussed in another article.
Unfortunately, may just be the reality that the Dems have not yet selected a nominee to solidify their support around. 45% may be his ceiling of support as a Republican in that district - about where he is against every potential Dem opponent.

From RI, I do not care if he is another Romney. That is better than any democrat.

Agreed
[Agreed]
This insane inflation keeps up and no democrat will be safe, anywhere.
Just saw a jar of peanut butter at the market go from $4.19 to $7.19.
This is not sustainable.
Fung was the mayor of Warwick, iirc! He seems to be a good politician. Hope he’ll win. I believe New England will flip a few house seats...
Fung is pro-choice on abortion. I’m sure you would consider any Republican who is electable from the Northeast US a RINO.
I think that you are right, just hope that he doesn’t stab “MAGA” bills in the back.
