After Osama Bin Laden

After the operation, which was shot in the head of al Qaeda, Osama Bin Laden, there was a big spike in the approval of the President of the United States, Barack Obama, mainly in the area of combating terrorism and situation in Afghanistan.

This was revealed by a new poll by The Washington Post and Pew Research Center, which he described as limited this growth despite the joy of the Americans after the announcement, as their numbers in the management of the national economy is not have moved.

It suggests that success on one front, even when a magnitude as important as the death of the world's most wanted man, not easily transferred to other areas.

A total of 56% of respondents said they approve the way in which Barack Obama is handling his job as president, representing a rise of nine percentage points in the study of April and its highest rating since 2009.
As for how he handled the situation in Afghanistan, the survey shows a 60% approval, and in fighting terrorism, the figure rises to 69%, the highest throughout his presidency.

More than three-quarters of all Americans surveyed shared the view that credit should be given to President Obama for the death of Bin Laden. Among Republicans, 61% said the president deserves some credit.

The increase of nine points in the President's approval corresponds to that was his predecessor George W. Bus, when it rose six points after the capture of Saddam Hussein in Iraq in December 2003.
