Obama's Post-Bin Laden Bounce Disappears In Gallup Poll

Even getting the most wanted man on the planet can't help you much when you are as incompetent as obama. I doubt that most people think he even made the call to smoke bin laden. Based on his track record of voting "present" when it really counted, I'm betting that Pinetta made the decision. If anything went wrong, obama could deny knowledge and pass the buck.

The bump President Obama received after the killing of Osama bin Laden more than two weeks ago in Pakistan has vanished completely, according to the latest Gallup Tracking poll released Monday.

Obama's approval rating is now at 46 percent, equal to his approval rating in the last tracking poll conducted before Obama addressed Americans late on May 1 and informed them of bin Laden's death. Forty-four percent of Americans now disapprove of the job Obama is doing as president.

According to the Gallup poll, Obama's approval rating crested at 52 percent after the bin Laden killing. His disapproval rating never fell lower than 40 percent.

Obama's bounce is smaller in magnitude and shorter in duration than the bumps enjoyed by other presidents over the past 70 years, according to a study by Republican polling firm Public Opinion Strategies.
