President 2012 Poll Watch: Still NO Bounce in Polls for Obama Since Bin Laden Killed?

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 24% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Thirty-seven percent (37%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -13.

Daily updates are based upon nightly telephone interviews and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. As a result, one-third of the interviews for today’s update were conducted before news was released about the death of Osama bin Laden. Tomorrow (Thursday) will be the first update based entirely upon interviews conducted after that event. Results from the two nights of data collected following bin Laden’s death show a modest increase in the number who Strongly Approve of the president’s performance.

Since this poll is a three day average, stay tuned until tomorrow. But, looking at the Gallup polling, any bounce may be modest.
