When the Daily Kos/Public Policy Polling released a poll showing the Hawaii Gubernatorial race in a dead heat last week, I just couldn't believe it. Democrat Neil Abercrombie had been crushing Republican Duke Aiona since the general election campaign launched a few weeks ago. I thought it was near impossible, I believed the poll was hogwash - Hawaii did after all support Obama with 70% of their vote in 2008.
Daily Kos/PPP survey of 1,326 likely voters:
Neil Abercrombie - 49%.
Lt. Governor Aiona - 47%.
Undecided/Unsure - 4%.
However, Rasmussen Reports just released a poll showing the exact same results in the Hawaii Gubernatorial race as the Daily Kos did last week. One close poll is a fluke, but two is a trend. I can't believe it, but for the first time since Hawaii was a United States Territory: Republicans could elect back to back Governors.
Rasmussen Reports survey of 500 likely voters:
Neil Abercrombie - 49%.
Lt. Governor Aiona - 47%.
Undecided/Unsure - 4%.
What say you?
