A recent survey of Honolulu voters found increased support for the city's rail project compared to earlier polls. Support for rail is now at 46%, higher than any previous measurement, though a plurality still oppose it at 49%. The survey also showed a decline in support for mayoral candidate Ben Cayetano, whose lead has shrunk and is now statistically tied with Mayor Peter Carlisle as Cayetano's support has dropped 5 points to 33% since the last poll. The parallel shifts in rail support and Cayetano's backing suggest they are correlated, as rail opponents support Cayetano while supporters prefer Carlisle and Kirk Caldwell.
