Civil Beat/HNN Poll: Hawaii Voters Really, Really Like Lt. Gov. Josh Green…But Gov. David Ige gets low marks as does Speaker Scott Saiki, the Legislature and former Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell.
Registered voters in Hawaii have a far more favorable impression of the lieutenant governor than of his boss.
Of those surveyed in the latest Civil Beat/Hawaii News Now poll, 63% said they had a positive view of Josh Green, who has all but declared his intention to succeed the term-limited David Ige next year.
The governor’s positive numbers were a dismal 22% while more than half of voters (53%) see the governor in a negative light. Green’s negative numbers, by contrast, were just 17%.
