Raimondo's Polling Numbers Are Terrible, But Not the Worst
What should be most disturbing for Raimondo is her number as weak at the beginning of her tenure and while the economy is improving.

For Raimondo and her political team, her high disapproval rating raise real concerns for a woman elected with 40.7 percent of the popular vote in November of 2014.
