Hawaii likes incumbents. Well, "likes" might not be the right word in this case, but it would explain any Republican trend this time. Of course it would be about the only interesting thing about the Hawaii result.

I would note though that Trump's approval (as posted above) isn't dramatically lower than his national approval.

Man, remember when Bush got 46% in 2004 in Hawaii? Now, it seems like Republicans struggle to crack 30%.

Hawaii's love for incumbent Presidents is really something. Trump will probably improve here relative to 2016 (although he's still going to get crushed obviously).

Polls always seem to underestimate the dominant party in blowout states in my experience (Hillary did way way better than the polls said in California in 2016 for example)?  I wouldn't make too much of it, but that would be interesting if true.

It also has something to do with Trump doing better with Asians. Just anecdotally, there are a number of Asians around me who have come around to accept him.

I'm sure your anecdotal experiences are real, but I don't buy that.  Asians swung further away from Republicans in the midterms than Whites, Blacks, or Hispanics.

No, your anecdotal statement is NOT fact - Trump is not doing better with Asian voters overall. Also, Biden will 65-70% of the vote in Hawaii.

The Asian crosstabs in this poll are roughly equally D as the other one. The R trend is due to the white crosstab being way Trumpier for some reason (49-38 Biden compared to 70-25 Biden).
