Recent polling from the Pell Center and others shows Helena Foulkes maintaining a roughly 20-point lead over incumbent Governor Dan McKee among likely Democratic primary voters three weeks before the September 9 contest, with McKee’s disapproval ratings remaining elevated. Foulkes, a former CVS executive and 2022 primary challenger, has also led in endorsements and fundraising. A contentious recent debate highlighted policy differences on housing, opioids, and infrastructure without narrowing the gap. Minor candidates Gregory Stevens and Joe Shekarchi register negligible support in surveys. Trader consensus pricing Foulkes near 90% reflects these consistent indicators of primary dynamics, though the race remains open until votes are cast.
