Newsmakers 5/20: Political Roundtable

EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) - This week on Newsmakers our political roundtable breaks down the latest in our exclusive WPRI 12 poll. When pitted against two likely Republican challengers – John Loughlin and Brendan Doherty – the first-term Congressman loses by more than ten points. His job approval numbers and favorability rating is also suffering in the wake of question over his handling of Providence’s finances. On the roundtable: Eyewitness News Analyst and pollster Joe Fleming, and Ian Donnis and Scott Mackay from WRNI along with WPRI.com reporter Ted Nesi. The roundtable also discusses the future of General Treasurer Gina Raimondo and her pension plan.
