If this little jump truly represents the public reacting to the Bristol Palin pregnancy, it's not something I would be popping a lot of champagne over. Besides being a pretty distasteful way to claim a lead (yes, I know about Obama's statement), it also likely means it's quite tenative.

oh, baloney.
you know full well that the gallup poll is a three day rolling average and that the news of the pregnancy didn't start to spread past the wonks until noon yesterday.
