Nobody mentioning it looks like Abercrombie is going down in flames. His poll numbers are dropping like a rock a week before the primary election. Abercrombie has fixed a lot of the damage Lingle left but he has failed to address many areas like the energy issue and he almost seems afraid of the Pahoa 300. At least, Abercrombie is somewhat familiar with Puna, it's probably a given that Ige will only know it as "the wild west". What little political influence Puna did have, is set to go into a big decline.

This updated poll shows a pretty big gap:

Gov. Neil Abercrombie is in grave risk of losing to state Sen. David Ige in the Democratic primary, according to a new Hawaii Poll that shows the governor's job approval and favorability sinking among voters.

Ige, chairman of the Senate Ways and Means Committee, holds a 54 percent to 36 percent lead over Abercrombie with 11 percent undecided.


Six months ago (the news stated), half of the people polled didn't even know who Ige was. Perhaps Duke Aiona will become the next Gov. with these new numbers. The news this morning did show Aiona would beat Ige or Abercrombie, and Mufi. Wow.

Mr. Tom, thank you so much, Sir, for your point of order, and kindness.
