It's really quite odd how polarized America has become since the end of 2001. Back then, VERY few people cared about partisan politics at all. How any person can go from the support that they would have had after an atrocity like that to the support now is mind boggling.

George Bush Sr. was at 73% approval ratings after Gulf War I but was out of office a year and a half later. The economy did him in.
George Bush Jr. was at 82% in the weeks after 9/11. This looks like it will be a pretty close election.
Americans tend to gravitate in support of their institutions in time of conflict.
