"And what’s the end result? Obama’s ratings are going up."

Really?

"Back to reality: Obama poll rating falls below 50 per cent as 'Bin Laden bounce' wears off

President Barack Obama's approval rating has slipped to 48 per cent - ending the so called 'Osama bounce'.

The President had enjoyed a near record high of 51 per cent in the days following the death of Osama bin Laden on May 2.

But with many Americans focused on rising gas prices, high unemployment and a troubled economy, Obama has been swiftly brought back to reality with a bump according to the latest set of Gallup poll numbers.

According to pollsters, the economy is top priority for Americans, with three in four naming some type of economic issue as the 'most important problem' facing the country today.

General economic concerns occupy 35 per cent of respondents, while 22 per cent are focused on unemployment.

The news comes as the President announced a U-turn in his previously cautions oil drilling rhetoric.

On Saturday, the president outlined plans for what he called 'safe and responsible' drilling, with the emphasis on speeding up the leasing process for the Alaska National Petroleum Reserve.

He also plans to create better financial incentives in oil company leases, extending the leases for those in the Gulf of Mexico.

On top of this, the President also fast-tracked test exploration off the east coast in a bid to promote the possible exploitation of reserves there.

Just weeks after the President released his 'long-form' birth certificate, another recent poll suggests a sizeable minority of Americans still doubt he was born on U.S. soil.

According to Gallup, 47 per cent of Americans now say he was definitely born in the U.S., up from 38 per cent in April.

the poll also revealed that 18 per cent of Americans are still unsure about his country of birth, while 13 per cent say he was 'probably or definitely' born in another country.

See my post 90. If I’m wrong, maybe Trump will speak up again. But I strongly doubt it.
