Message to Supporters from Ed Case July 26, 2012
Tonight, my Democratic opponent and I meet in the only major statewide televised debate she agreed to. We ask you to tune in to the Hawaii News Now stations from 6:30PM to 8PM or watch the livestream at www.hawaiinewsnow.com.
With just 16 days to primary election day, three recent polls show us virtually tied with Hirono and doing far better than her against Lingle in the general. These results match the statewide momentum we feel in our tremendous grassroots campaign as voters really think through their primary election choice.
A different poll result was reported in the Star Advertiser this morning. This is not the first time this polling company has produced a contrary result.
Just two weeks before our 2002 Governor primary against Hirono, that company's poll had us down to Hirono by 20 points. On election day, Hirono prevailed by just 1 point and then went on to lose to Lingle in the general by 5 points.
In the 2010 Governor primary, the same company had Governor Abercrombie over Hannemann by just 5 points in the same timeframe, while another company, which polled our current race as tied, had Abercrombie up by 17 points. The final margin on election day was 17 points…. |
