McKee will win, but it will be another underwhelming Democratic performance in a Rhode Island gubernatorial election. When was the last time a Democratic gubernatorial nominee won a true landslide there? It's strange, considering Rhode Island has been a solidly Democratic state for many decades now.

Well, IMHO of course, but in my opinion - relatively few good universities, generally - not very educated electorate, too much "white working class" and "ethnics", who in most states turn away from present day "social issues concentrated" Democratic party, and so on.. Rhode Island became Democratic mostly because of economic reasons, not social (many Democratic legislators are still pro-life for example), and in present days "dividing line" goes not through economy, but rather such issues as choice and LGBT rights.

They give us polls that's not even relevant how about giving us a WI or KY Sen poll

A Rhode Island TV station is probably more interested in a Rhode Island election.

RI Governor might actually vote to the right of PA/MI. Wow

2018 is probably the closest. Raimondo broke 50% and kept Fung under 40%.

2014 was comical thanks to Robert Healey (RIP).

2010 was somehow more comical in hindsight thanks to Lincoln Chafee’s existence (he also kinda looks like Bob Odenkirk)

2006 was a narrow GOP win.

2002 was nearly a 10% GOP win.

1998 was similar to 2018, but the Dem broke 40% (and Robert Healey made an appearance).

1994 was basically 1998 (other way around really, but since I’m going back in time, that’s what it seems like).

1992 (apparently this is when RI switched to 4 year terms) was a Dem landslide, 61.5% to 34%.

So, I’d say 1992.
