The Biden Bump -- Updated

Errrr . . . not so much . . .

Obviously it is one poll, and it is too early to read anything into this, but I do note that after the inclusion of one full day of post-Biden polling, the Gallup trend reversed directions, and shows a tie.

I do wonder how much of Obama's  support consisted of people who were hoping for an Obama/Hillary (or other woman) ticket, and are unhappy with the selection. Note that Rasmussen (which showed a 1-point bump for Obama/Biden) finds that women are significantly less likely to believe that Obama made the right pick with Biden.

Again, it is early, so this amounts to little more than idle speculation. But what else is the blogosphere for???

UPDATE:  The latest CNN poll (which shows a tie) actually provides some basis for my idle speculation:

Sixty-six percent of Clinton supporters — registered Democrats who want Clinton as the nominee — are now backing Obama. That’s down from 75 percent in the end of June. Twenty-seven percent of them now say they’ll support McCain, up from 16 percent in late June.
