D.C. Blog Notes Dueling Polls, Fundraising in Hawaii Senate Race

The Hill’s At the Races blog has this report on the latest round of polling data and fundraising numbers for the leading candidates in Hawaii’s U.S. Senate race.

Excerpt:

In their potential showdown for the Hawaii’s open Senate seat, Rep. Mazie Hirono (D) and former Gov. Linda Lingle (R) have in the last two days announced their second-quarter fundraising and released dueling polls.

Lingle raised more than $1.1 million in the second quarter, outpacing Hirono, who brought in $941,000 from April to June and had $2 million in cash on hand as of June 30. Lingle did not release her cash-on-hand total.

Unlike Lingle, Hirono is facing a competitive Aug. 11 primary against former Rep. Ed Case, who has not yet announced his quarterly fundraising. Hirono is backed by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
