Media rush to measure Obama’s “Osama bounce”

Crass, but inevitable. In the wake of the killing of Osama bin Laden, media and pollsters rushed into the field to insta-poll public reaction. Taken together, Pres. Obama is seeing a significant boost in numbers on handling terrorism and the situation in Afghanistan. However, the overall “Osama bounce” for his general job approval numbers looks below average so far....

The article goes on to mention how President George H.W. Bush enjoyed a bounce when the coalition he put together drove Saddam Hussein's Iraqi army out of Kuwait, but that it was not sufficient for him to win re-election in 1992.
