A new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll is the latest to show that the boost President Obama received following the death of Osama bin Laden was short-lived, and that both Democrats and Republicans have reason to be anxious about the 2012 campaign.

The survey, conducted from June 9 through Monday, shows that Obama's approval rating now stands at 49%, down from 52% since last month and even with where he tested before Bin Laden was killed.
