President Barack Obama’s approval rating has risen only slightly following the successful raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan, a new Rasmussen Reports poll reveals.

After successful raid that killed bin Laden at his compound in Pakistan has largely bumped to the background the Republican campaign to pick a successor to oppose him in 2012.

Overall, 49 percent of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the Obama’s performance, and 50 percent at least somewhat disapprove.

“Those figures have shown little movement since the news about bin Laden,” Rasmussen observed.

That's what makes them seen presidential. And after the bin Laden killing that's what Republicans need in a nominee. If they don't nominate somebody Americans can imagine sitting in the Oval Office making these life-and-death decisions, they can shut the campaign down right now.

Rasmussen also found that 86 percent of likely voters approve of the president’s decision to authorize the raid on bin Laden’s compound, and 53 percent give Obama good or excellent marks for handling national security issues, up 14 percent from a week ago.

Interestingly, despite warnings that the killing of Osama could trigger new terrorist attacks, only 28 percent of respondents said they believe a terrorist attack is very likely over the coming year, down from 35 percent in November.

So it's important to acknowledge that and for Americans to remember that despite the elimination of bin Laden, we're still extremely dependent upon and grateful to our military men and women for what they do.
