Gallup: Maybe It's Not Just Noise

One week after Gallup reported a significant bump for Democrats in generic ballot approval, their latest poll shows Democrats maintaining much of that bump.

Democrats continue to hold a narrow 48-44 ballot advantage in the poll, perhaps a sign of the recent passage of the financial reform bill.

I was one of those skeptical of last week’s results.  One bump in numbers (as clearly indicated on Gallup’s chart) does not a trend make.  But two such polls in a row is something to note.
