PPP: Hagan pulling away

According to Public Policy Polling, state Sen. Kay Hagan is pulling away from her main rival in the Democratic primary, Chapel Hill investment banker Jim Neal.

I've written before that I'm troubled by the discrepancy between PPP's numbers and Survey USA's.

However, what's on display here is a trend. While the absolute numbers may or may not be on track, it's clear that Hagan is gaining in name recognition and voter opinion while the other candidates in the race are standing still. This is almost certainly a product of her putting two commercials on the television box.

With 15 days before the election, if Neal is going to make a move, particularly on-air, now is the time.
