A recent WPRI/Emerson poll for Election26 shows Foulkes leading Block by 9 points in the Providence-New Bedford area, according to the available summary of the poll. The summary does not provide the candidates’ full names or their individual levels of support.
Other details needed to assess the poll are also not included.

It also gives no margin of error, question wording or information about whether the reported figures include undecided respondents.
Without those details, the reported nine-point difference can be described, but the available information does not show how precisely the poll reflects opinion in the area or whether the result changed over time. No earlier poll results or additional findings are provided in the summary.
The information identifies the poll as a WPRI/Emerson poll associated with Election26 and names the Providence-New Bedford area as its geographic focus. It does not specify the office or contest involved, provide vote-share percentages, or describe the poll’s methodology. Those details were not provided in the summary, so the finding is limited to the reported lead: Foulkes is ahead of Block by 9 points.
