A new survey of Hawaii voters says Governor Neil Abercrombie has the lowest job approval rating of all the nations’ governors.

An automated telephone poll of nearly 600 voters was taken last week.

Public policy polling says Abercrombie’s approval rating at 30 percent...down from 48 percent in March.

The poll follows some of his more controversial decisions like saying the state should not pay to have the Pro Bowl here and implementing a last, best, final offer without approval from the teachers union.

Dela Cruz should wise up and look for another job. She is too nice a person to be pulled down by Abercrombie.

More evidence that liberals are I d i o t s !!! Dela cruz was a good reporter when she was on TV, but she went to the dark side and became a HO for liberals. She has no ethics and will lie in your face; such is a liberal.

I cannot believe that KHON actually printed this story. This rag is so liberal that is a complete surprise to see this on the website. None of this is a surprise to those of us that didnt vote for abercrombie, I just dont know what his supporters expected. Just looking at the LT Gov face u can almost see the anguish and the frustration, and him actually thinking how can I get free from this sinking ship.

Even 30% is TOO HIGH to rate him! You get what you voted for and I can proudly say that I DIDN'T vote for him!! Such an embarrassment for HAWAI'I!!

This is one of the reasons why Hawaii has one of the lowest voter turnouts in the nation...they all scared to vote because this (voting for the wrong candidate) is what usually happens! If you don't believe me all you have to do is go back to the Useless Waihe'e era (another big mistake)

Why am I not surprised? Neil & Dela Cruz will probably say that polls don't matter...3 more years of this B.S. But don't we all know that Gay marriage will make more money for us than the Pro Bowl? Yea right! Heck, I voted for Duke. Don't blame me...
