RI: New Poll Puts Independent Chafee Ahead of All Contenders in Gubernatorial Race

By d.eris on March 4, 2010 1:28 PM

A new Rasmussen poll puts independent Lincoln Chafee ahead of all contenders in the race for governor of Rhode Island and by wide margins :

Ex-Senator Lincoln Chafee is the leader for now in Rhode Island’s race for governor . . . Chafee earns the support of 37% of likely voters in Rhode Island to 27% for Democrat Frank Caprio, the state’s current treasurer, and likely Republican nominee John Robitaille’s 19%. Seventeen percent (17%) are undecided. When State Attorney General Patrick Lynch is the Democrat in the race, he earns 24% of the vote to Chafee’s 38% and Robitaille’s 22%. Given this match-up, 16% are undecided.

    Thanks for that info and links on “rotation” in Ireland GPF, I had seen a few headlines on that, but didn’t know the background/context.

    Interesting Green Party story out of Ireland where the Green Party is in power.

    The Green Party was founded on the idea of Term Limits. What the Greens originally called “Rotation”.

    Greens in Ireland are in the national cabinet. Now the Green Party, true to it’s support for Term Limits, or rotation are calling for Green Party officers in the Irish Cabinet to step aside for Term Limits.

    The Green Party has been in power over two years in Ireland, which historically has been the normal Term Limit period for Greens in many countries.

    Here’s the story.
