PPP claims to be doing a KY poll this week as well.  I think PPP is in the "motivate the base" mode with some of these numbers.  I suspect they'll show Conway tied or leading if they've got Burr up just 8.

No, I think this is possible. This would be a 5 point gain for Marshall from their last poll here, which is plausible.

This is one race I will never fully trust PPP on for obvious reasons.

Of course, this seat is supposed to be cursed. Was supposed to be cursed. Burr's is going to be the first reelection in it since 1968 or something.

Agreed. They're a good pollster, but they're still a Dem-leaning pollster who is based in NC, and has been pushing the "Marshall can win" narrative for a while now.

This one has been over for a while now.

PPP has sure been willing to maintain this charade for a while now, and their shenanigans in North Carolina makes me all the more skeptical of their other polls in Pennsylvania, Missouri, Washington, etc.

Yeah, they're kinda starting to get into troll territory at this point.  Pity that among the most prolific we have two (de facto) partisan pollsters (Rassy and PPP), one which is all over the place (SurveyUSA), and a few others which aren't all that great (CNN/Time, Quinnipiac, others).

Anecdotes are that early voting is twice as high as it was in 2006 at this point and the leading demographic among early voters are white men this year whereas in 2006 it was African American females who dominated in the early vote.
