RI-POS (R): Fung-internal shows him tied with Raimondo

[Tender Branson]

Public Opinion Strategies (R) for the Allan Fung (R) campaign:

42% Fung (R)
42% Raimondo (D)

Fung’s internal poll was conducted Sept. 10 through Sept. 11 by Virginia-based Public Opinion Strategies. The landline and cell phone survey included 500 likely voters and had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.38%.

The head-to-head section was asked “before any issue questions.”

The poll was conducted before Moderate Party candidate Robert Healey entered the race. There are also two Independent candidates in the race – Leon Kayarian and Kate Fletcher.

I think this could indeed be a race to watch.

I wouldn't be too surprised if Rasmussen releases a poll soon that has Fung ahead or shows a tie.

Chafee is quite unpopular as well.
