This is PPP. It’s a Dem firm, and while it tries to get it right on its final poll, it definitely cooks the numbers earlier in the process. In 2010, it kept showing Elaine Marshall nipping on the heels of Sen. Burr almost until the end.
I don’t buy that Tester is up by 5%; he’s probably down by at least 5%.
PPP is one of the better firms, better than some that don’t admit they are partisan (NBC/Marist I’m looking at you) but this poll doesn’t pass the smell test.
Tester will lose, baring disaster.
