Like you, I think the PPP results should be taken with a grain of salt. The shift from the two earlier polls is pretty big. The demographics (which I hadn't looked at) are pretty strange - though they are self reported which could differ from registration. The Blunt amendment vote was March 1, the others were before it - though one was just a day earlier and he was known to be a co-sponsor.

It does seem the type of very intense issue where it could shift votes, but netting 10 points when the position was known until after the vote seems hard to believe. Clearly Brown did surge with all the positive press in the beginning of the year.
