Bin Laden Dead- What Happens Now?

less than four months folks, geez...  things sure do move in politics quite quickly, the only constant being pbrower idiocy.

Sam, pbrower wasn't the one predicting 70% Obama approval ratings.  A number of people got it wrong on this thread, but I was surprised Obama's approval ratings did not get a higher boost.

In other words, you were wrong.  Definitely not the first time and won't be the last.

Well, I would have been if I had made a comment, though not as wrong as most of the people on this thread.  I was thinking along the line above 50% for a few weeks, which it did on Gallup.  I was expecting some movement in Rasmussen as well, and here was what I said:

Rasmussen Obama (National)

Approve 48%, -1.

Disapprove 51%, +1.

"Strongly Approve" is at 24%, -2.  "Strongly Disapprove" is at 37%, +1.

WTF?

Spade's right.  Obama may see the plus side of 50 for a few  weeks, then it'll go  away. 

Did I call it or what?

It wasn't even a few weeks.
