Poll Numbers and Terror Alerts

A BUZZFLASH READER COMMENTARY
by D Hippauf

Dear BuzzFlash,

A few months after 9-11, a few of us at DemocraticUnderground.com began to notice a correlation between Bush's polling numbers and Terror Alerts/Warnings. A drop in Bush's polling numbers and Terror Alert stories begin to appear in the media within a week.

As of Jan 2003, I began to pay more attention to this "pattern". I have tracked these on my website: , they can be found specifically on this page .

Below is a brief listing of Polling stories, and the related Terror Alert:
