This is the original poll I posted this about:

PPP conducted poll show 48% favorTalarico and 42% for Crockett. 10% Undecided.

Poll was conducted February 25

This is the second poll showing Talarico in the lead this month. The other released showed Crockett ahead by 56-44 pre-Colbert. Another showed Talarico ahead by 4 pre-Colbert.

Gonna be quite interesting to see how this turns out. Dem enthusiasm is through the roof...
