PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — A new poll has found Republican Allan Fung with a lead outside the margin of error for the first time in the race for Rhode Island’s 2nd Congressional District, buoying GOP hopes of picking up a the blue-state seat next month.
The new Boston Globe/Suffolk University survey of 422 likely voters in the 2nd District finds Fung at 45% and Democrat Seth Magaziner at 37%, with 13% undecided and 5% backing independent William Gilbert, who will appear on the ballot as “Moderate.”
The 8-point lead for Fung in the new survey confirms the findings of last week’s 12 News/Roger Williams University poll, which showed Fung leading Magaziner by a similar margin of 6 points. The results have increased the alarm among Democrats that they could lose a seat they’ve held for years, due to the retirement of 11-term incumbent Jim Langevin.

In Rhode Island? Makes me think that there will be a Crimson Tide in November.
It’s probably worse for the Dimm there. Here was what Terry Moran said this weekend on ABC.
“Polls are broken... So you look at those polls, if it’s close it’s a Republicans win.”
ABC’s Terry Moran poured cold water over the rest of the leftist pundits’ hopes about Democrats’ chances in the midterms.
I think of Rhode Island like I think of California... There’s still a Republican party there?
I went to Allan Fung website. He wants to be work with “both sides of the aisle”. That code for RINO. Is a RINO better than a Rat?
New England is protected by the Dems Iron Curtain. Republicans should do some serious campaigning in those areas. It’s been so long since the residences their have received an alternative message.
Here in RI, they are running ads painting Fung as “extreme and dangerous”, which, if you know anything about Fung, is so over the top ridiculous! He is a very bland so-so republican.
Yes.
And you might add that Congress is a numbers game. The team with the most members gets to pick committee chairmen and set the agenda for the coming term. So yes, having another “R” is the Congress is better than a “D”.
