I wouldn't pay too much attention to any of these polls - good or bad. If the economy starts to tick up a little, you'll see his numbers jump up again. So it's really just a snapshot of where people are at that particular moment.

Secondly, I think when the debates really get rolling we'll see how the public feels about Mitt Romney. Bin laden bounce or not, Obama has the advantage on foreign policy and national security.

agree, way too early.

Not sure about an advantage, but at worst case FP & NS are even with the GOP (not necessarily in real experience, but public perception), which is a huge positive for Obama.
