The Bump is Beginning

As much as I hate using polls to really insinuate anything concerning an election, I have to say that something I predicted has been happening: Obama is getting a nice bump in the polls now that Hillary Clinton is out of the race and has endorsed him.

The last two Rasmussen polls put Obama ahead by 50-44 and 50-43 respectively. The most recent Gallup poll also shows Obama with a good lead over McCain, outside of the MOE.

I am the first to admit that a) polls really don't mean much, and b) that's especially true because the election isn't for another five months. A lot can happen between now and then. But at least this bodes well for Obama. I don't think it's going to stop, either. I think Obama has quite a bit of momentum. It probably will fluctuate, but I expect Obama to gain more before any fluctuations happen.
