Toss-up.  I think Duke has a great shot here.

Interesting. I would've expected Ige to be dominating after his historic primary performance.

Rassy polling in Hawaii is a recipe for disaster.

Eh, I wouldn't say so. Rassy is the only pollster that under-bid the performance of Neil Abercrombie over Duke Aiona (their last poll had it at 58-32, it ended up 58-40). The worst pollster in Hawaii, for my money, is actually PPP, who had a poll a month before election with Abercrombie only up 2. Rassy is not good here, much like else where, but it's better than the other pollsters in the region.

Anyone remember their 2010 Senate poll with Cavasso on 40% ? He got 22% !

^ Maxwell, that was their penultimate poll. Their final poll only had Abercrombie up 2.  (https://uselectionatlas.org/POLLS/GOVERNOR/2010/polls.php?action=indpoll&id=1520101013016)

No, Ige will win easily.

Bullsh*t. Hawaii polling sucks and this is an example of it. Ige will win by at least 6 points. I also don't see how Hannemann is polling above 10%.

Given what happened with Lingle, I could easily see Ige win by 15-20+ points, but we really don't know until election day.

From almost everything I've heard on the ground, Ige is very popular. He ought to win a quite respectable victory.

I remember when Rasmussen polled Hawaii in 2010. Nate Silver called it the worst poll ever in world history.

If you add "How hard it is to poll accurately in Hawaii" and Rasmussen, it's not a pretty combination.

1* If the 2010 election for United States senate were held today would you vote for Republican Cam Cavasso or Democrat Dan Inouye? (Please note that we split the survey to rotate the order of the candidate names, so while half will hear the Republican candidate first, the other half hears the Democrat mentioned first.)
 
40% Cavasso
53% Inouye
  3% Some Other Candidate
  4% Not sure

Rasmussen probably thought the Republican wave was going to hit Hawaii. I think that wave ended up somewhere around Antartica instead. Democrats won this particular Senate race by 53 points, gained the governor race, and defeated all but 1 Republican in the state Senate.

Hawaii polls. Ige should win, but if Abercrombie somehow survived this would probably be Toss-up or lean R.

Had Abercrombie won the primary, Hannemann would have become a bigger threat. The two of them and their supporters have some bad blood from the 2010 primary.

That isn't a problem now, because Ige picks up alot of Hannemann voters.
