Obama's bounce

I discussed the concept of a bounce earlier this week here. Some numbers have started to come in. Obama is up roughly 6 points and I'm ready to call it a bounce. But, politico's David Kuhn rightly suggests that Obama's bounce is very much smaller than one might expect.

I already forwarded one theory suggesting that the polarization of American politics has left less room for bouncing. But what do you think?
