PPP had 17% undecideds in their poll out today. My first reaction was to question its credibility, as well, but if you look at the last 5 polls from this race, the average amount of undecideds is about 17%. Neither Inslee nor McKenna have really been able to break out of the low-40s.

That is interesting... is it because of lack of recognition, possibly?  I know it's still somewhat early in the campaign, but it's odd to see both candidates consistently poll this way.

I would think McKenna would have better name rec after being elected statewide twice. PPP said that 63% of their undecideds voted for Obama. Hence, I think the issue is that there are a lot of Democrats who haven't made up their minds; they're open to crossing over to McKenna, but don't know enough about Inslee to make a choice.

You've hit it on the spot. A lot of democrats don't really care for Inslee, but are unsure whether they would be willing to make the switch to McKenna.

     The pollster itself is more or less garbage. I wouldn't read too much into it.
