Race background

A Public Policy Poll released February 1, 2013, showed Reed in excellent standing for re-election in 2014. In addition to high job performance approval ratings, poll respondents said they would vote for Reed over all five potential Republican challengers included in the survey, with Reed winning by a minimum of 29 points against Brendan Doherty and a maximum of 65 points against Curt Schilling.

The results prompted Dean Debna, the President of Public Policy Polling, to say that, “Jack Reed may very well be the least vulnerable Senator in the country up for re-election next year."[151]

Personal Gain Index

Congressional Personal Gain Index graphic.png
See also: Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress)

The Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress) is a two-part measurement that illustrates the extent to which members of the U.S. Congress have prospered during their tenure as public servants.
It consists of two different metrics:

PGI: Change in net worth

See also: Changes in Net Worth of U.S. Senators and Representatives (Personal Gain Index) and Net worth of United States Senators and Representatives
Net Worth Metric graphic.png

Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, Reed's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $187,046 to $1,030,000. That averages to $608,523, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic Senate members in 2012 of $13,566,333.90. Reed ranked as the 78th most wealthy senator in 2012.[159] Between 2004 and 2012, Reed‘s calculated net worth[160] decreased by an average of 2 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[161]

Jack Reed Yearly Net Worth
YearAverage Net Worth
2004$699,491
2012$608,523
Growth from 2004 to 2012:−13%
Average annual growth:−2%[162]
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[163]

The data used to calculate changes in net worth may include changes resulting from assets gained through marriage, inheritance, changes in family estates and/or trusts, changes in family business ownership, and many other variables unrelated to a member's behavior in Congress.

PGI: Donation Concentration Metric

See also: The Donation Concentration Metric (U.S. Congress Personal Gain Index)

Filings required by the Federal Election Commission report on the industries that give to each candidate. Using campaign filings and information calculated by OpenSecrets.org, Ballotpedia calculated the percentage of donations by industry received by each incumbent over the course of his or her career (or 1989 and later, if elected prior to 1988). Reed received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Lawyers/Law Firms industry.

From 1989-2014, 26.63 percent of Reed's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[164]
