Rhode Island’s recent presidential vote

Democratic presidential candidates received a majority of Rhode Island’s statewide vote in each of the past three presidential elections. The Democratic and Republican shares were 55.5% and 41.8% in 2024, 59.4% and 38.6% in 2020, and 55.5% and 39.7% in 2016.
