Just as quick as it came, Obama’s Osama bounce as fading fast. First, last Friday, Gallup found that Obama 6-point bounce to 52% had already fallen back to 51%. That number held steady today.

Pew had found a 9-point Osama bounce (47% to 56%) last week. Today, Pew reports, two-thirds of that bounce is already gone. Obama’s approval rating is already down to just 50%.
