COMO DECÍA esta mañana, matar a bin Laden no va a suponer grandes cambios en las posibilidades de Obama para renovar en la Casa Blanca:

In the immediate aftermath of the targeted killing of Osama bin Laden, President Obama’s approval rating has jumped higher, with big increases in the number of Americans giving him high marks on dealing with terrorism and the situation in Afghanistan.

But the new poll, conducted Monday evening by The Washington Post and the Pew Research Center, also finds virtually no movement in Obama’s numbers when it comes to handling the economy. That suggests that success on one front — even one as important as the death of the mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks — might not translate easily to other areas.

Sobre todo porque el efecto de lo primero pasará, en cambio lo segundo se arrastrará en los meses que faltan para las elecciones.
