Helena Foulkes maintains a commanding lead in Rhode Island’s September 9 Democratic gubernatorial primary, driven by consistent polling advantages over incumbent Dan McKee that have held since early 2026 surveys. University of New Hampshire polling from June showed Foulkes at 42% among likely primary voters versus McKee’s 22%, narrowing only modestly from a larger April gap amid McKee’s persistently high disapproval ratings near 76%. Foulkes, a former CVS Health executive who narrowly lost the 2022 Democratic primary to McKee, benefits from stronger name recognition, fundraising momentum, and voter dissatisfaction with the incumbent’s record. Minor candidates including Gregory Stevens and Joe Shekarchi register negligible support, leaving the contest effectively between the two frontrunners with limited time remaining before ballots are cast.
