Wow, that's a drop.  Did he say anything stupid recently?

Yeah he did, but it was nothing more than a blip on the media screen.

I think this has to do with Inslee starting to rev up his campaign. I've seen a surge in signs and other Inslee stuff around Seattle. I also think he's started to improve his name recognition.

Encouraging, but I wouldn't be surprised if this were an outlier and McKenna is still leading by ~5.

Wow. That is a pretty huge drop. Still, I'm glad to see a Republican on top in Washington of all states.

     For that matter, the previous poll was most likely an outlier in the opposite direction. Isn't the possibility of no actual movement intriguing? :P
