Latest polling: Real Clear Politics:
Bottom line: The one poll available is from October of last year and is likely very unreliable, particularly since neither Gingrich nor Santorum had made much headway by that point. At this point, anything could happen in Hawaii and it would neither be a surprise, nor particularly important to the overall nomination.
