The last Presidential election after the last time the US was attacked was 1944:
Any President fighting a war is going to see a lot of unhappy voters.
Roosevelt didn't have 4 broadcast networks, 3 cable networks, and all the major newspapers working against him, either!
I'm glad to see Bush up in this latest poll, though!
Gee 47-45 right through October -- do those numbers sound familiar? -- hopefully the same thing will happen in the voting booth too. America will get in there and say, NOPE can't do it, can't change horses now.
Interesting -- I never would've guessed that Roosevelt won by such a narrow margin in 1944.
