HI-Sen: Akaka Leads, Barely
The reverse of the Connecticut Democratic primary is happening simultaneously now in Hawai'i. Sen. Akaka is being challenged from the right by Rep. Ed Case, and Akaka's just as vulnerable as Lieberman. A new poll shows Akaka leading, but barely:
Akaka's popularity has suffered during this primary, with Survey USA putting his approval/disapproval for June at 48% approve/43% disapprove. Not good. Though if he does survive the primary, there's no chance he'll lose in November.
Anyway, it will be interesting to see how many of the Democrats who are travelling to Connecticut to campaign for Lieberman also travel to Hawai'i to campaign for Akaka. Someone should ask them about that.
