HI-SEN: Democrats lead Linda Lingle in early polls. [View all]
The Republican party in Hawaii had hoped that the state’s first female governor might have what it takes to claim the seat of retiring Sen. Daniel Akaka (D), but recent polling shows Democrats with the inside track.
A survey conducted by Civil Beat shows former Gov. Linda Lingle ® trailing two prospective Democratic opponents.
In one matchup, former Congressman Ed Case outpolls Lingle 46 percent to 33 percent. Sitting Congressman Mazie Hirono holds a seven point advantage over Lingle, 46 percent to 39 percent.
