In the race for governor of Hawaii, Rep. Neil Abercrombie (D) leads Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann in the Democratic primary and Lt. Gov. Duke Aiona in the general election, according to a new poll by DailyKos/Research2000.

The survey, conducted June 15-17 of 600 likely voters, finds Abercrombie ahead of Hannemann 42%-22%, with 36% undecided, and leading Aiona 45%-36%, with 19% undecided. Hannemann also leads Aiona by a 44%-34% margin, with 22% undecided.

After winning re-election with 63% of the vote in 2006, Gov. Linda Lingle (R) -- the first female governor of Hawaii and first Republican to win since 1959 -- is term-limited. The survey tested her against Sen. Daniel Inouye (D) in a potential 2010 Senate matchup, and found the eight-term incumbent senator leading Lingle 52%-40%. Inouye has won his last two re-election bids with 76% and 79% of the vote.

Abercrombie, a New York native, has represented his Honolulu-based district since 1990. Of the three candidates for governor tested, Abercrombie is the best known with just 12% holding no opinion of him. His 55% job approval rating is even with Hannemann (56%) and well above Aiona (44%).
