Poor Mitt--Obama cleans up in another home state 61-34 in HI

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is going to carry Hawaii's four electoral votes Tuesday.

But beyond that bit of very unsurprising news is the suggestion that Obama's victory in the islands in 2012 could well be narrower than it was in 2008, and that it's narrower now than it was a month ago.

A survey of 1,218 likely general election voters across the state shows the Hawaii-born Democratic incumbent with a 61 percent to 34 percent lead over Republican challenger Mitt Romney. The survey, which was conducted between Oct. 24 and Oct. 26, had a margin of error of 2.8 percent

Big poll numbers for Obama out in both IL & HI this week, meanwhile the state Mitt was born in (Michigan) is going to Obama by 6-8 (or more) points and the state he was governor (MA) will crush Mitt by 20 or more points.
