You heard it folks, Whitehouse(D) has 51% before the campaign has even begun...8 points ahead of Chafee(R), poll to be released later, crosstabs and numbers available to premium members.
BEFORE the primary, Whitehouse had only a 2 point lead
Some great news, all those pundits who said RI was now a lock because of the Chafee name was so powerful are now looking pretty stupid. If ANYONE should have gotten a boost, it should have been Chafee, but it looks like the Laffey voters are going to sit on their hands.
What do people more familiar with the race think...will Chafee's money and family name give him a boost come October or will Whitehouse keep the lead?
