Schatz and Hanabusa in a Dead Heat

A new Honolulu Civil Beat Poll shows Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) and Rep. Colleen Hanabusa (D) deadlocked in their Democratic U.S. Senate primary at 40% to 40%, with another 20% not sure who they’ll vote for.

Said pollster Matt Fitch: “They are in a holding pattern. I think for many people this may be one of the more high-profile Senate primaries, and it is unusual because there is not a massive ideological division between the two candidates. They are two popular choices.”
