Snider Note: The two findings I found most interesting are that: 1) only 19% of Rhode Islanders knew a lot or some about the constitutional convention ballot question, and 2) those without a college education were more than twice (16%) than those with some college (7%), college graduate (5%), or graduate school (3%) to say that they knew a lot about this question. Ironically, the more education one had, the less likely one was to say they knew a lot. My personal experience is that even the vast majority of PhDs in political science know very little about the reasons for and history of this type of question.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/rhodeisland.concon.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2024-07-18-Ocean-State-Poll-Constitutional-Convention-Ballot-Question.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;2024-07-18&#8211;Ocean State Poll&#8211;Constitutional Convention Ballot Question&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Ocean State Poll&#8211;Convention Question&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/rhodeisland.concon.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2024-07-18-Ocean-State-Poll-HowMuchHeardAboutCons\u019ftu\u019fonalConven\u019fonBallotQues\u019fon.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;2024-07-18&#8211;Ocean State Poll&#8211;HowMuchHeardAboutCons\u019ftu\u019fonalConven\u019fonBallotQues\u019fon&#8221; show_in_lightbox=&#8221;on&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Ocean State Poll&#8211;Convention Question&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Providence Business News Weekly Reader &#8220;Poll&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pbn.com\/should-rhode-island-hold-its-first-constitutional-convention-since-1986\/\">Should Rhode Island hold its first constitutional convention since 1986?<\/a>, Providence Business News, July 26, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Question: &#8220;<span>Should Rhode Island hold its first constitutional convention since 1986?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Options<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span>Yes: &#8220;Yes, the state constitution should not be set in stone.&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>No: &#8220;No, too costly and unnecessary.&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span>Other: &#8220;I&#8217;m Not Sure&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span>Poll results below are as of 7:00 pm on July 30, 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/rhodeisland.concon.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2024-07-30-Providence-Journal-Weekly-Poll-Result.png&#8221; title_text=&#8221;2024-07-30&#8211;Providence Journal Weekly Poll Result&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Convention Polls Note: Click on an image to expand it and make it readable.
