Allan Fung, a Republican running for Rhode Island’s second congressional district has consistently been polling ahead of the communist Democrat running against him. The latest 12 News/Roger Williams University poll shows Fung at 46% and the communist at 40%. If Fung were to win, he would be the first Republican to win a house seat in Rhode Island in 30 years!
Republicans remain positioned to win a congressional race in Rhode Island this fall for the first time since 1992, but Democrats still have a shot at holding the seat, an exclusive 12 News/Roger Williams University poll released Thursday shows.
The survey of 254 likely voters in Rhode Island’s 2nd Congressional District finds Republican Allan Fung at 46% and Democrat Seth Magaziner at 40%, with 9% of voters undecided and 4% supporting independent candidate Bill Gilbert, who will appear on the ballot as “Moderate.”
12 News political analyst Joe Fleming, who conducted the poll, noted that Fung’s lead remains just inside the survey’s margin of error.
“It’s still relatively close,” he said. “Anything could happen.”
