A survey led by a pair of Berkeley researchers found that a terror alert probably wouldn’t be beneficial to the McCain/Palin presidential campaign.
The survey first asked around 1300 respondents to read three articles—one of which dealt with a possible terrorist attack on the US in the near future—then asked the respondents who they supported in this year’s election.
According to one of the study’s authors, conservatives and liberals (SURPRISE SURPRISE) weren’t swayed in what they thought of the candidates, but there was an 11 percent drop in moderates supporting McCain.
The results are in opposition to what some people inferred from similar studies done during President Bush’s first term, which showed that his approval ratings generally increased the week after a terror alert was issued.
