The document summarizes the results of a poll of registered voters in Hawaii. It finds that 48% feel things in Hawaii are going in the wrong direction, while 38% say right direction. Approval ratings for political figures like Governor Abercrombie, Senator Schatz, and Congresswoman Hanabusa varied from 31-58%. On key issues, support was mixed for legalizing medical marijuana dispensaries (45% yes, 47% no) but less for recreational use (33% yes, 59% no). Two-thirds supported raising the minimum wage, though views were divided on the economic impact. A majority approved of President Obama's job performance.
