Natural disasters and terrorist attacks strangely prompt the populace to rally around the current party in leadership.

Your conclusions could not be more wrong. No data what so ever to support this theory. Why then in 2008 with terrorism still in mind did people vote for Obama? Also look at immediately after WWII, the Brits threw out Churchill. I hate to comment in polls threads, full of moronic handwringers, who clutch at any shred of negativity to bolster their sh*tty attitude about life.

Tough tone from you. You misinterpreted my post. My point about terrorist attacks and natural disasters refers to the immediate (within 1-2 weeks) aftermath and sentiment — not towards the long term feelings after these events pass into more distant memory. Your examples of 2008 and WWII are more akin to the “climate” and not the “weather”. Further, there were other extenuating factors (e.g., a stock market meltdown) in 2008, for example, that mitigated any fearful mood surrounding terrorism.
