New Facts: Foulkes Leads Mckee 48% to 28% in Polling
Helena Foulkes leads Dan McKee 48% to 28% among likely Democratic primary voters in a new Pell Center survey. The poll interviewed 857 likely voters Aug. 3–11 and has a 3.6-point margin of error. Twenty-two percent remain undecided.
Foulkes’ backing is highest with voters under 50 at 58%, college graduates at 54%, and in the Bristol and Newport area at 58%. Earlier public polls also showed a roughly 20-point gap, while a July survey by an independent expenditure group funded by unions backing McKee had her ahead 39% to 33%.
The new numbers put Foulkes 20 points ahead three weeks before the Sept. 9 primary. The release came hours before the final televised debate, with early voting set to begin Thursday.
