RI Gov: Incumbent Carcieri (R) 42%, Fogarty (D) 43%
Things aren't getting any better for Rhode Island's top Republican incumbents.

Gaining a couple points since June hasn't helped Governor Donald Carcieri (R) gain traction in the competitive gubernatorial race. His Democratic opponent, Lieutenant Governor Charles Fogarty, has also jumped a couple points in our election poll, and so maintains a one-point edge to now lead the governor 43% to 42%.

In Rhode Island, the lieutenant governor is elected on a separate ticket. So while it's not typical for the top two executive officials of a state to be of different parties, it's not surprising that Democratically-leaning Rhode Island should have a Democratic lieutenant governor. Nor that Fogarty is posing a very stiff challenge to the candidacy of the man with whom he had long enjoyed a cordial relationship.
