Obama Ties It Up With Hillary

The latest Rasmussens are in, and Obama and Hillary are at 32 points a piece, the first time Obama has tied it up. I'm the first one to throw out the caveat that polls at this early stage mean next to nothing. But check out the story that Rasmussen did on these numbers. Specifically, this graph:

"Obama has been steadily gaining ground during April. Last week, Clinton had a two-point lead. Two weeks ago, it was Clinton by five. The week before that, the former First Lady was up by seven. Our last release in March found Clinton enjoying a double digit lead. Clinton now holds a narrow edge among white voters while Obama leads by 16% among African-Americans."

While a single poll in April '07 means almost nothing in regard to an election in November '08, that sort of trending is definitely remarkable.

All right, that's all I got. It's Monday, after all.
