RE :”What a difference a month makes! Or, rather, what a difference one extraordinary event can make for a very brief time in polling, as well as some ridiculously skewed survey samples. Five weeks after scoring a +18 in approval in the Washington Post poll from the killing of Osama bin Laden, Barack Obama’s approval rating returned to its pre-OBL mission underwater status — although you’d need to get to the sample data to learn the extent of the fall:

There was some hand wringing here about Obama getting credit for Bin Laden but history shows that that sort of thing can backfire on him when done so early compared to election with a crappy economy and rising national debt, as with Bush Sr. A month later few care about Bin Laden as they get that pink slip from their boss (who got one too) and in fact they even wonder why we are still in Afghanistan after Obama “Mission Accomplished” Bin Laden who he made the sole symbolic focus of the WOT or whatever it's called now. Of course there are political pitfalls to Obama pulling out too.

Liberals will throw Obama under the bus if they feel he can't win... The first signs will be the MSM treating him like he's a Republican... all of a sudden blinders come off and they'll question if he wrote 'Dreams' etc. Dems own the press - that's where to watch for first movement.
